Six-day Spring Retreat Workshops
Applications for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry at the 2023 Spring Retreat are now open. Deadline, February 15, 2023.
Join us for our 10th annual Winter Ossabaw Island Writers’ Retreat, March 10-15, 2023.
Work with one of our critically acclaimed writers in a workshop limited to five qualified participants. Each day, participants will bring manuscripts of their work-in-progress to their assigned workshop group where they will read, discuss and receive feedback about their projects from fellow participants and the assigned group leader. Workshop manuscripts should be limited to 12 pages poetry/16-20 pages fiction or non-fiction.
All work and no play make for a dull day–therefore, writers will have plenty of time to rest, relax and explore the island during the morning and afternoons. In addition, writers will meet with their faculty members one-on-one to discuss their manuscripts in detail.
WORKSHOP PARTICIPATION: $3195 tuition covers six days and five nights lodging, meals, writing workshops, one-on-one manuscript consultations with nationally recognized authors, craft seminars, readings, visiting agents and publishers, ferried transportation to the island, and special hotel rates for those who wish to visit Savannah before or after the Retreat. $200 early-bird discounts before December 31, 2022
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Early-bird application deadline, October 31, 2022. Early applications highly recommended since there are limited openings (five-six per genre) and the retreat tends to fill quickly.
