This class will cover all aspects of writing narrative nonfiction, especially memoirs and biographies. A two-page outline of your book and the first twelve pages of your manuscript will be evaluated by your instructor prior to the opening of the Retreat. Bring your laptop and ten copies of the first five pages of your manuscript, and be ready to work hard to learn to tell your story the way it needs to be told. Also, be sure your experience qualifies you for the track for which you are applying. Retreat enrollment is limited.
Enrollment is open to adult fiction and narrative nonfiction only.
Students who qualify will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Applicants will be accepted based on the appropriateness of their work and our belief that the writer will benefit from our program. Applicants will be notified within 10 days of receipt of application. You may print the Retreat registration form located on the bottom of this page, or use the form in our Brochure. You may also contact our office and we'll fax or mail the form to you.
