Can you not imagine a lot of writing going on here? Just look at those decks!!

I am offering a guided writing retreat Nov. 3-5, 2023. I primarily work with memoirists and other nonfiction writers, but all genres are welcome.

The house is about 5 miles north of Duluth, Minnesota. It is a quiet space in the woods–very inspirational!

I am limiting the retreat to 10 people. It’s a large house so there will be plenty of room. It can be fun to commit to this with a friend or family member! After the first 10 sign up, I will keep a waiting list.

Here is a rough schedule:

• Friday afternoon: Arrive, get settled, group discussion about writing goals, some writing exercises
• Friday evening: Dinner (you can bring and make your own food, so I’m thinking a potluck style for dinners), social time, evening reading/writing time
• Saturday morning: 2-hour writing workshop
• Saturday noon-ish: Lunch break
• Saturday afternoon: 1-hour writing workshop plus 2-3 hours solo writing time
• Saturday evening: dinner, recap the day, social time
• Sunday morning: 2-hour writing workshop
• Sunday noon-ish: Lunch and depart

After the retreat, I also will commit to reading an excerpt of your work (up to 15 pages) and providing feedback.

Thank you for your interest! I would welcome the chance to work with you.
