Professional Writing Retreats Events
2005 Professional Writing Retreat A
Writing Your Draft
June 16–19, 2005
The Inn at Sunrise Springs
Santa Fe, New Mexico
This retreat is designed for writers who have a clear idea of what
they will write about and who are ready to spend sustained
time doing so. On-site writing coaches and editors provide support
for writers. Through participation in small writing groups and other
opportunities to share writing, participants become part of a community
of writers. The structure of the retreat is designed to accommodate
writers at all levels of development.
Retreat activities include:
- long stretches of time to write
- responses from writing group members
- one-on-one conferences with editors
- a workshop on professional writing
- publication of an anthology of "intermediate" drafts.

Participation in the retreat is by application only. The pool of participants chosen will be as representative as possible of the geographic, racial, and ethnic diversity of the writing project. It will include teacher-consultants and site leaders—kindergarten through university—with a range of writing interests, experience, and content-area knowledge.
