Refresh your writing life! Set aside a full day to dedicate to the art and craft of creative writing at the Community of Creative Writers Retreat on Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at Thomas More College’s Biology Field Station.
Sponsored by TMC’s Creative Writing Vision Program, this semi-annual retreat is open to writers of any genre and experience level; and will offer opportunities for writing, sharing, and friendly, constructive feedback.
The retreat will be led by Thomas More College Writer-in-residence and award-winning author Richard Hague, Pauletta Hansel, an acclaimed regional poet and memoirist who served as TMC’s first Writer-in-residence, and TMC English professor and Creative Writing Vision Director Sherry Cook Stanforth.
