NEXT UP: We are excited to offer our second in-person writing retreat with Mark Sarvas, in a beautiful and peaceful retreat setting on the Monterey Bay in California.
FICTION WRITING RETREAT WITH MARK SARVAS
March 30 - April 2, 2023
Join us for a weekend writing on the Monterey Bay in California. Craft lectures, one-on-one sessions with Mark, and plenty of distraction-free time to dive into your work. Spend your days in a private lodge, nestled in a grove of Monterey pines and California oaks, quiet except the sound of the surf in the distance. A short walk away, stroll windswept dunes and breath in ocean spray and cypress. Located along a protected marine reserve, in one of the most inspiring places on the West Coast.
