Hello all,Happy spring!
I am pleased to invite you to a writing retreat at my home in Rumford, Rhode Island on Friday, May 10th, from 7-9:30pm EST. We will be writing from prompts, socializing, and receiving feedback. All levels of writers and all genres are welcome. If you are not local, feel free to join us via Zoom. Accommodations for people who want to attend in person from out of town can be arranged.
Light snacks and desserts will be served. The cost of the retreat is $45 to attend in person and $35 to attend via Zoom. Space is limited for the in-person portion, so I encourage you to register early. Scholarships are available, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. To register, please email [email protected] by May 5th.
Feel free to share with anyone you think would be interested!
All best,
