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.

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.
