Writers Retreat Workshop (WRW)

Writers Retreat Workshop (WRW)

 

May 23-June 1, 2008

Marydale Retreat Center • Erlanger, Kentucky

From across the nation, a small group of serious-minded writers, committed to bringing their novels-in-progress to completion, will meet in northern Kentucky to participate in ten of the most important days of their writing careers.

Will you be there?

Since 1987, Gary and Gail Provost's internationally acclaimed WRITERS RETREAT WORKSHOP has offered the intensive, personalized experience you may have dreamed of:

Not a writing conference, but intimate workshops and retreats. Daily in-depth classes; assignments; writing time; diagnostic sessions; readings; one-on-ones with WRW acclaimed core staff; nightly "shop talks" and brainstorming sessions with staff Mentors -- proteges of the late GARY PROVOST, "arguably the leading teacher of writing in the United States" (Writer's Digest Books); visiting editor/agent/author classes and one-on-one consultations; informal gatherings; "surprises"; and more. Included in tuition: three meals daily, private rooms, classes, meetings and all materials. Most important, the promise that you'll make dramatic leaps in your writing, self-editing, and marketing ability no matter your skill or publishing level. Published and not-yet-published writers rave about their WRW experience.

Visit our site for participant comments, updates, registration information, and photos. Over 50% of each year's participants return from previous years making new applicant availability limited.
