About the event
Welcome to the 12-Hour Writers Retreat—a morning-to-night writing experience committed to supporting your work from idea to live reading! On Saturday, October 10, join 20 fellow writers for a fun (and food!) filled day at Forage. Enjoy guided writing exercises, unencumbered freewriting time, a supportive workshop, and a final show featuring you!
This retreat will be hosted by Matt Cashion, author of The 13th Divorce (winner of the Edna Ferber Fiction Award), Last Words of the Holy Ghost (winner of the Katherine Anne Porter Prize), and most recently, How We Do Things Here. Click here to learn more about Matt.
