The Southeastern Chapter of Mystery Writers of America is pleased to present our FOURTH ever Writers’ Retreat.
Oct 25 – Nov 1, 2020
- Recharge Your Creative Batteries
- Work on Your Current Project or Try Your Hand at Writing Prompts
- Brainstorm, Get Feedback from, and Enjoy the Company of Fellow Writers
- Sessions on Plot Therapy, Storyboarding, and More
If you’re a writer, or just dream about being a writer, come experience the magic of a dedicated, focused writing retreat. We welcome writers of all stages: dreamers, beginning, pre-published and published. Even if you are an established author, you will benefit from a week of intense focus on your stories, your craft, and your career. We’ve got a great week planned, lots of fun activities and learning, but enough alone time for each of us to focus on our craft, and a little magic sprinkled in. We look forward to hearing from you!
