The Writers Retreat

Imagine a place for the serious writer who wants to get away from it all and connect with other writers, a place to unwind and concentrate on your writing.

The writing retreat is a week for serious writers to write. There are no instructors and no programs (except for optional evening readings). This retreat is open to those attending the workshop from July 6 - 13. (You may have a spouse or friend join you. That person's fee would also be $370 for the week.)

Many of you are already in writers groups but this will be different. It will be a week of self directed, concentrated writing. You can start a new project or polish one in progress. Evening readings are not mandatory, but when you see the quality of the writing presented, you’ll want to participate.

The retreat dates for 2013 are June 30th (arriving after 1pm) to July 6th (leaving after breakfast).

The cost for the room (double occupancy) and meals for the retreat is $370 per person, for a total of $1,060 for your two week stay.

Deposits are due by MAY 6th. (The deposit is $530 per person.) The balance is due June 1; no exceptions.

If you wish to apply after MAY 6th, please call to see if a space is open: (336) 370-9188, cell (336)255-8210.

Space is limited for the retreat. Please remember that Wildacres fills up quickly. The Writers Retreat Program can sleep 40 attendees. We always have a waiting list.
