writing retreat


Last September a speculative fiction writing retreat for 10 participants was held at Leura House in the Blue Mountains, NSW. Tutors were Terry Dowling, Robert Hood and Cat Sparks. The weekend was a roaring success so we’ve decided to do it again. Seven of the 10 available places are already spoken for. If you think you might be interested in participating, here are a few details:

Why?
The purpose of the weekend retreat is to provide the opportunity for writers to have their work read and discussed by peers and professional writers. Participants will engage in group critiques as well as having one-on-one opportunities to discuss their work with Terry, Rob and Cat.

Where?
Leura House, Leura, Blue Mountains
7 Britain Street, Leura
2 mins walk from Leura railway station

When:
Prospective dates are either November 20, 21 and 22
Or November 27, 28 and 29.
 
Tutors:
Terry Dowling
Robert Hood
Cat Sparks

Cost:
Somewhere between $450 and $470 if there are 10 participants. Payment covers breakfast, morning and afternoon tea, dinner on Friday night, accommodation and use of the conference room.

Awww… I’ve already signed my contracts for this term. Maybe we’ll have to have one down in Melbourne at ye olde Kleinert Homestead, aka chez Sazza.

Would SO MUCH love to do this. It would help if I'd written enough to make it worthwhile. Unfortunately I haven't (yet). I'm going to be relying on NaNoWriMo to get a lot of stuff written, and it will be crap at speed.

Are you going to be doing it next year too? Maybe I'll have something worthwhile by then?

Would SO love to do this ....
