Squam Writes Retreat

Squam Writes offered a retreat from June 5 to June 8 to fiction and creative nonfiction writers at Rockywold Deephaven Camps, a historic resort campsite on the shores of Squam Lake in Holderness, New Hampshire. Residents were provided lodging in cottages, cabins, and lodge rooms along the shores of the lake; time to write; and the opportunity to join optional craft-focused workshops led by the codirectors as well as optional peer critique groups. Professional feedback on your writing was available for an additional $75. The faculty included novelists Jilly Gagnon and Melissa Hed. The cost of the retreat, including all meals, was $935 for lodging in a shared room and $1,135 for lodging in a single room. Up to three partial scholarships were available for mid-career writers. To apply, writers submitted a writing sample of up to 2,500 words from a work-in-progress by April 30. There was no application fee. Applications were accepted on a rolling basis.
