It’s not easy to sneak away from daily life to attend a weeklong writers retreat. But might you sneak away for a day? Welcome to the 12-Hour Writers Retreat—a morning-to-night writing experience committed to
supporting your work from idea to live reading!

On Saturday, October 26, join 20 fellow writers for a fun (and food!) filled day at Forage. Enjoy guided writing exercises, unencumbered freewriting time, a supportive workshop, and a final show featuring you!

This retreat will be hosted by writer-in-residence and former Wisconsin poet laureate Kimberly Blaeser.
Writers 21+ are encouraged to register. All-inclusive pricing: 105.00
