About the Rosemont Writers' Retreat Located on a 56-acre campus in an attractive, historic suburban community, Rosemont College is a peaceful sanctuary located just minutes by train from center city Philadelphia. Each day will begin with an elective yoga/writers' way session, then continue on with a craft lecture on a different topic. Afternoons will be spent in an intense three hour workshop run by an instructor who is not only an accomplished writer in her/his own right, but also an experienced teacher. Workshops will be limited to no more than twelve participants, ensuring that each author will have plenty of critique time. Nightly faculty readings and receptions will offer plenty of networking opportunities, but the emphasis will be on immersing yourself in the writing life and your own work. Full access to the Rosemont computing and fitness facilities will be available. Special Note: Some instructors may request advance copies of the work that you wish to workshop.
