Doe Branch Ink is a writers retreat located on 50 acres nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Just 30 miles north of Asheville in lovely Madison County, our retreat takes its name from a spring fed stream that flows from high in Pisgah National Forest into the French Broad River. We offer writers experiences of two kinds in the late spring and early fall, we organize facilitated writing experiences for 6-8 guests with successful writers in residence who are also proven teachers. At other times of the year, our guest house is available to rent for individual writers or writers groups. We welcome writers of all levels to our workshops what matters is a sense of purpose and willingness to participate in a supportive community. During the week you will have substantial time for individual writing, interactions with a writer-in-residence, evening readings and optional recreational activities. Participants have one-on-one conversations about their goals and work to date with the writers-in-residence based on a writing sample submitted in advance. Writers-in-residence also lead discussions and readings there is no formal course work. Above all, Doe Branch Ink offers time away from daily activities and time to write and talk to others about writing. center b Spring 2012 Programs b 5 20-26 Elizabeth Cox 5 27-6 2 David Payne 6 3-9 New!
