One and Two Week Writing Retreats

One-week Writing Retreats offer five workdays of uninterrupted writing time. We provide a dedicated space, two meals, and we minimize distractions, so participants can focus on making progress on their writing.

One Week Virtual Retreats offer five days of work time utilizing the platform, Zoom. During these virtual retreats, we will provide a structured environment for writing and research. We will spend time setting goals and regularly checking in on your progress.

Two-week Writing Retreats offer 10 days of writing over a two-week period. This retreat is our most intensive. In addition to offering extra hours, we also offer extra support, in the form of faculty mentors who help participants set goals, and who provide feedback on drafts. The two-week Writing Retreats are designed to help participants make substantial progress towards completing their writing projects. Lunch is provided on six of the ten days. REGISTRATION MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE APRIL 1ST TO BE PAIRED WITH A FACULTY MENTOR.

During each retreat, we provide a varying number of meals (see descriptions above), snacks, and drinks, computers, writing space, and dedicated time to write.
