Attending was a big deal for me since I d never been to a writing retreat before. It turned out to be fabulous the atmosphere was perfect for writing and Peter was an excellent teacher. His lessons were unique and helped uncork my writing, getting me to think and use my writing time wisely. I highly enjoyed the trip and would recommend a Murphy Writing retreat to absolutely anybody, whether a novice or pro. Michelle, Huntsville, TX
