Writing on the Land: A Wild Writers Retreat
Writing on the Land: A Wild Writers Retreat brings together award-winning writers and editors who understand the writing process and what’s involved in trying to find your footing. This retreat is a unique opportunity to work with seasoned guides who can speak to the full cycle of envisioning, researching, creating, revising, submitting, publishing, and beyond. It is also designed to help writers develop a specific project they have underway.
Join Helen Humphreys, Pamela Mulloy, Susan Scott, and Andrew Westoll in this guided writing workshop for emerging and established writers.
