Writers' Retreat
By Melanie Rigney
Tuesday (1:00-4:00 PM), Wednesday-Friday (10:45 AM), Wednesday-Thursday (3:30 PM)
Writer's Retreat is all about critique--giving and taking. It's about craft, and about making your work the best it can be. This course is limited to six people who are at least 10,000 words into a book-length work, fiction or nonfiction.
Please note: The retreat is a six-session commitment, including 1-4 p.m. on Tuesday (early arrival). You'll have the opportunity to read three passages from your work to the other participants and ask for feedback on specific aspects of the manuscript that don't feel quite right to you. And, you'll offer specific feedback to the five other "retreaters."
It's an intense but positive and productive experience. Due to the small class size, writers cannot participate for more than two years in a row. To apply, please click on Retreat to send 10 pages of your project via e-mail to Melanie Rigney by May 15. Applicants will be advised of selection status by June 1.
