Join Us at Wildacres Summer Writing Workshop
                  held in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina

Dates: July 7, 2012 through July 14, 2012

For over 25 years, our residential summer writing workshop has ranked among the finest in the country. Almost half of our attendees have been to Wildacres before. Published, unpublished and talented beginning writers are welcome at Wildacres Writing Workshop, but you must be a serious writer to attend.

These are residential "working" workshops where your manuscript is critiqued and given the attention it deserves. Class sizes are ten or less and leadership is at the Master Class level. All faculty members must meet strict requirements in terms of their education and teaching experience.

Classes offered for 2012 include novel, short story, poetry, creative nonfiction, and contemporary commercial fiction. The total cost including meals and double occupancy accommodations is $680. (We do not have private rooms.) Dates for 2012: arrive July 7 after 1pm; leave July 14 after breakfast.

A writer's retreat is also available for those attending the writing workshop. (Alumni may attend as space permits.) The total cost of the retreat, including meals, is $380. There is a $20 discount for those attending both sessions. Dates for 2012: arrive July 1 after 1pm; leave July 7 after breakfast.

Because our fee is inexpensive, newcomers are often concerned about the quality of the facility and the writing workshops. Don't be! The beautiful lodge-type buildings blend the comfort of modern living with the beauty of North Carolina's Blue Ridge mountains. Our workshop costs less because Wildacres Retreat Center is a non-profit and does not allow for-profit organizations to use their facility. Accordingly, Wildacres Writing Workshop is operated on a not-for-profit basis.

We invite you to consider our writers retreat and our summer writing workshop. The serenity of the location is unparalleled. Apply early so you won't miss out!
