Come write with us—from home.
The Center for Creative Writing offers annual writing retreats on multiple topics and genres for writers who seek an immersive experience.
Our writing retreats for the foreseeable future will be supportive, community-building, intensive…and 100% virtual. We adapted some of our in-person offerings to provide an incredible retreat experience you can enjoy from the comfort of home.
Center writing retreats are nurturing:
- We connect you with a passionate teacher for expert guidance;
- We help you build a tiny but mighty community of other writers; and
- We stay connected post-retreat so that you enjoy the lasting benefits of that community.
Center writing retreats are accessible:
- Our format, a mix of synchronous and asynchronous work, provides an escape for even the most time-challenged writers, for whom a week or two away from jobs, families, and responsibilities is simply not feasible;
- Our mentors work with retreat registrants to optimize sessions and content for their individual goals and projects, no matter their level of experience; and
- We strive to balance our retreats with a mix of intensive writing time, group and one-on-one meetings, and rest, so your retreat experience is both comfortable and fruitful.
Center writing retreats are transformative:
- You will be (re)energized in group sessions with people as dedicated to writing as you are and want to be;
- You will remember why you write in productive solitary sessions; and
- You will carry a renewed sense of purpose and inspiration with you to fuel your creativity long after the retreat concludes.
