Make some time for yourself and your writing this spring. Join us for a Spring Writers’ Retreat in beautiful rural New Brunswick.

This retreat is for all writers – no matter what stage you are in your writing adventure.

Participants are asked to submit ten pages of their writing to Laurie Glenn Norris at laurie.norris@unb.ca by May 29, 2013.

You may submit a short story, part of a chapter, poetry or any other writing project you’re developing and would like to receive feedback on.

On June 1, these ten pages will be emailed to Ian LeTourneau and the other retreat participants for review.

Everyone’s submitted pages will be workshopped and discussed during Saturday June 15th, so come prepared to give and receive lots of constructive criticism.
