Writing is a solitary endeavor, but we don’t need to do it alone. Sometimes our inspiration comes in solitude, sometimes in community. The Writers Salon provides an effective, useful, and fun combination of these sometimes conflicting parts of our writing practice. Our Spring 2022 Writers Salon event takes place at the Whitehawk Ranch (https://lodgeatwhitehawk.com) and provides a combination of those two experiences. Payment includes lodging, breakfast and dinner, and daily Salon Sessions. The days are yours for contemplation, research, gathering with your fellow participants, nature walks, and, of course writing. Late each afternoon we gather for the Salon: a craft talk, Q&A, and discussion, followed by dinner, during which there’s lively conversation, and opportunities to share work in progress. SPECIAL OFFER: 60-minute private one-on-one session with Sands Hall is included with a 5-night stay. Submit up to 750 words in advance, or during the WIR event (48 hour turn around), and meet with Sands to discuss your project and writing. Limited to six participants per session to ensure an intimate Salon environment, this WIR event is anchored at a private home for Salon Sessions and dinner in Whitehawk Ranch. Lodging/breakfast provided at the Whitehawk Lodge or private home in Clio, CA.* Full session commitment is preferable, but shorter stays (two-night minimum) are welcome.
