Summer Christian Writer's Retreat
Are you interested in learning more about the craft of writing? Do you feel that urge to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) but aren't sure how to plan your first novel, polish that book of poetry or entice readers with an unforgettable story?
Through seminars, discussion and intimate small workshop groups led by experienced writers and teachers, you will grow in the craft of writing as well as in an understanding of importance of the creative writing from a context of your Christian faith. Bring your projects with you to share and be critiqued. July 19-21,2013 from Friday at 11:00 a.m. to Sunday 1:00 p.m. *Single day participation is also an option. |
