Writers' Retreat 2021
The Rosemont Summer Writers’ Retreat 2021 will be online again this year. Join us for a weekend or a full week with all the panels, workshops, readings, and writing sessions that you’ve come to expect. The retreat will be an intense virtual experience but will remain essentially as it was face-to-face. We’ll still be offering an intimate workshop environment along with noontime author talks and evening panels, readings, and student open mics. Workshops are small and are limited to 10 participants. You will need a quiet space and access to a computer with a camera and a microphone.
We’ll also be hosting an optional daily group free write during the week from 10-12. Any questions can be directed to Carla Spataro, MFA program director at cspataro@rosemont.edu.
