This retreat brings together an intimate group of novelists to workshop their writing-in-progress, to sharpen their skills in building effective character, plot and exposition, to focus on next steps in publication and marketing, and to take part in a public reading celebrating their work, published and unpublished.

THE WORKSHOP IS SOLD OUT! Please come to the reading on Sunday!

If you’re interested in attending the reading on November 9 (4 p.m.) as a guest, you would be most welcome! Contact me to reserve a place in this creative celebration at the Storyweaving Retreat Center in Maryland.

I offer regular writing retreats themed around different genres, and plan to have a poetry retreat and a memoir retreat in early Spring, 2026. It’s vital for writers to come together, learn from each other and from an experienced writing coach! Building confidence in your gifts and vision happens in community.

The Storyweaving Retreat Center is a place to celebrate you and your writing goals. You deserve to shine!
