Join us for a "pre-treat" before we gather at Cool Spring for the annual retreat days in May!

We invite you to discover planning strategies for getting into a summer writing routine. We will also spend time writing quietly with our friendly and encouraging colleagues. We hope to spark inspiration and help you achieve your goals!

Writers from all disciplines and at any stage in their writing projects are encouraged to apply. You do not need to attend the annual retreat to take part in this event.

Lunch and snacks will be provided.
