Supercharge your writing at the Journey to Jupiter Writing Retreat
Join me for an out of this world creative voyage
Writer, you’ve been working hard. You’ve been toiling away on that book of yours for a while. Maybe on the page, maybe in your head. But your story is real. And you need some help making it everything you want it to be.
That’s what the Journey to Jupiter Writing Retreat is all about.
The Journey to Jupiter Writing Retreat is for writers working on book-length projects, memoir or novel, who are hungry for the time, community, and craft they need to advance their projects to the next level.
This in-person retreat offers time away from day to day responsibilities, the camaraderie and support of other writers, and sessions to help writers gain the skill and understanding they need to tell their story.
This year’s offerings include:
Discussions of assigned readings
Sessions with exercises on character, plot, structure, language, description, and setting
Honest conversation about writing process and practice, how to work through blocks, and the role of community
1:1 sessions with instructors focused on each writer’s unique challenges
Solo time to reflect, integrate, and write
This retreat is co-led by me and Ralph Walker, and this year we have some super duper guest instructors who are going to make this mission even better—stay tuned for more on that.
This retreat is nothing short of transformative. But don’t take my word for it — here’s what 2024 attendees Caroline Manring and Penny Zang said about it.
Art needs nourishment.
Your story matters.
The Jupiter Retreat offers community and craft, the two essential ingredients every book needs.
