THE RETREAT WEEK SUMMARY:

This five-day intensive Boot Camp Writing Retreat is for those willing to do what it takes to become better writers. You'll learn about character arcs and character sketches, how to properly plot your story, and how to use tension and/or curiosity to keep the reader reading. On the final two days, you’ll be immersed in the world of self-editing and the pros and cons of self-publishing.

The Boot Camp Writing Retreat is part lecture, on-the-spot writing, and take-away assignments. Be prepared to write!

There will still be plenty of time to explore the island and Amorgos’s wonders.
