Lunch, Friday, July 30 through lunch, Sunday, August 1, 2010

A Three-Day Workshop taught by Irene Sherlock
Hosted this year at Dippikill Wilderness Retreat, 656 Dippikill Road, in Thurman, NY.

Ready to take that next step toward becoming a better writer? Whether your focus is fiction or nonfiction, memoir or the novel, writing teacher Irene Sherlock will help you hone your writing style and deepen your understanding of the craft.

Morning and afternoon workshops will focus on various aspects of technique, during which participants will write and receive feedback on their work. In the evening, participants will be invited to share their work in a more informal setting.
Whether you've been writing for years, recently graduated from an MFA program, or have just now decided to take the leap out of your private notebooks and into a classroom, this weekend will provide the structure and the impetus you need to reconnect and recommit to the writing process. Come, be encouraged and engaged. Phone or email with questions.

 

In-residence participation: $525; Commuter participation: $450

This event was funded in part by Poets & Writers, Inc., with public funds from The New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.

The 2007, 2008 and 2009 Adirondack Mountain Writers' Retreats also were recipients of this grant. We are most appreciative of that support.

The Adirondack Mountain Writers' Retreat was designed to give writers an opportunity to develop writing skills, tap creativity and explore new ways of telling their stories. The quiet mountain setting in the town of Thurman, NY, is a peaceful place in which to nurture personal artistry, hone techniques and stretch literary wings. Writers have the opportunity to choose either full live-in retreat participation or commuter enrollment. Both options include all instruction, personal writing time and discussion/critique sessions, along with lunch and supper. In-residence fees cover lodging and all meals at Camp Dippikill .

Perky Granger is an aspiring writer. She has three published books, and edits and co-authors the John Thurman Historical Society Quarterly. She has published articles in Adirondack Life and other magazines, reviews books for BookPleasures.com, and writes occasional blog posts. In addition to the Adirondack Mountain Writers' Retreat, she also hosts the November St. George Island, FL, Writers' Retreat, where author-in-residence Adrian Fogelin guides and consults during an intensive few days of writing and critiquing for those with a work in progress. These retreats provide a nurturing and supportive environment for writers, many of whom are embarking on a first major work.
