A Highly Specialized Writing Retreat
You've labored for months--or years--and you've finally produced (or almost produced) enough material for a first (or second, or third) draft. Now what? This intense, hands-on, working retreat will answer that question and give you everything you need to move forward towards a publishable manuscript.
This Retreat is for you if:
- You have a draft of a book (or a good portion of one).
- You're seeking a roadmap for future drafts and publication.
- You're inspired by beautiful surroundings and a combination of solitude, community and expert guidance.
What's Included:
- Five days and four nights of hands-on instruction, workshopping, individual consultation, and time alone in inspiring and nurturing surroundings.
- Single-occupancy lodging in a charming, individually decorated room, in the beautiful mountain town of Idyllwild, California.
- A full gourmet breakfast each morning.
- A unique literary-themed dinner each evening.
