Join us for a writing retreat with author and editor Lorraine Ash, "Writing a Braided Memoir."

A classical memoir tells a single, linear story. A braided memoir—beloved in today’s marketplace—yields a more complex story by interweaving multiple themes and narrative threads. We’ll explore how to infuse your memoir, making it both a compelling story and a way for readers to rethink socially significant issues.

This retreat is perfect for writers at all levels. Come ready to write!

Registration options are as follows: you may choose to attend the retreat for (6) days from Thurs. to Tuesday or choose (4) days from Thursday to Sunday. Please register early, as space is limited. We also have a new Commuter option for $235.
