JOIN GRACE FOX & MYSELF AT THE WORD GUILD STILLPOINT WRITERS' RETREAT



Finding it hard to write that book?
Take the next step in your writing journey and make a valuable investment with this writers’ retreat! 

Join my dear friend and peer, Grace Fox, and me at this retreat. 
I'm so excited to be critiquing fiction, and Grace will be critiquing non-fiction. 

Be inspired in this idyllic setting. More than just a quiet place to write, the retreat helps you connect with other writers and meet with on-site professionals.

Enjoy quiet writing time in stillness with God. Connect with other Christian writers. Glean wisdom, skills, and tips from intimate critique circles.



Sign up soon, and get the early-bird rate. This will be a fantastic time away to work on your writing gift. To register on-line go to this link.

What can you expect?

This retreat combines quiet time to write, en-joyable group worship and optional sessions that you can attend throughout the weekend. Fiction and Non-fiction writers will be split up into two “Critique Circles”. These groups, led by professionals, will help you to hone a piece of your writing over the course of the weekend. Ample time for writing or just enjoying the scenery will be made available.
