The Idea Lab is a unique retreat for writers of every stage and genre of creativity. This will be a time when writers, whether neophyte or veteran can come to share in community with other writers, and learn more about the craft from seasoned professionals. Ms. Paula Tutman, of WDIV and author of "Deadline" will be our featured speaker; and Ms. Jane Friedman, editor of Writer's Digest Magazine will also be a featured presenter. The most unique part of this retreat is that it approaches writing from a holistic point of view, meaning that we address not just the nuts & bolts of the writing process, but also the creative energetic work that enhances the writing process. The second unique thing about our retreat is that it is "all inclusive". That means that one low cost includes transportation to & from the retreat location (from Troy, MI), lodging, meals, classes, class materials, and special entertainment. At our website, you will learn more about our BreakOut! Sessions, Presenters, and more specific details about the retreat and costs. Please take special notice of our Early Bird Specials where participants may save as much as $100 for early registration. A new writer's retreat coming up in August, 2010.
