Step away from daily life and into an inspiring and rejuvenating writing retreat. Join MFA faculty for morning writing workshops followed by a group meal. In the afternoon, editors offer tips on how to prepare your writing for publication. At the end of the day, new book authors share their work and their stories. Come to the Dominican campus to grow as a writer and connect with a writing community.
