COME TO THE MAINE COAST AND JOIN A SMALL OF WRITERS
TENANTS HARBOR, ME June 17-21st
Hone craft, eat food, and look at water.
Enjoy the a writers retreat like no other. Small, intimate, supportive no matter what your genre.
Fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, memoir, and screenwriting, will all be discussed depending on what you want to pursue.
Sunday afternoon begins with meeting everyone and a small sampling of everyone’s writing. Dinner is on us.
Monday-Thursday mornings begin at 8:00 with breakfast included and we will work through until 1:00 in two small groups. Afternoons you are on your own to write, explore beautiful Tenant’s Harbor, walk beaches or ride into neighboring Rockland, Rockport or Camden to shop, grab some dinner or go to museums.(The kitchen will be stocked with food for lunch.)
Thursday evening the local Tenant’s Harbor Library will host a reading from our group. You may choose to participate or not. (By this time you’ll be so empowered, you’ll want to be the first at the podium!)
Becky and Lori will provide Sunday’s dinner, and all breakfasts (let us know about food allergies or special considerations), and the kitchen will be stocked with food for you to put together your own lunch. Dinners are of your choice at many of the local restaurants or drive into Thomaston or Rockland for more variety and brew pubs.
