All that's required is that you have a work in progress, whether it's an idea, an outline or even a few pages or chapters. The goal is to help you move the process along. The retreat includes daily workshops along with time for solitary writing and a few fun activities thrown in for extra inspiration!  I will be facilitating discussions on plot and character development, point of view, dialogue, and establishing your author platform.
