All workshops are open to Q&A sessions for attendees. It’s a perfect opportunity to get your specific, personal questions answered directly by an industry professional. Faculty and staff are available throughout the retreat.

Time is set aside daily for writing as well as for small group critique sessions where writers have the option to share their work with the group and receive feedback from other attendees or faculty members.

No classes or sessions are mandatory. You are welcome to come and learn as you please, but also relax as you please. A full schedule will be provided prior to your arrival.

Lastly, but in no way to be minimized, the opportunity of finding inspiration in this beautiful and historic locale is hugely compounded by the fellowship of other writers. This fellowship is PRICELESS.
