The structured program begins at noon on Tuesday afternoon , November 8th and ends Sunday afternoon. All who wish may arrive at 4 p.m. on November 7th for some quiet writing time and linger until Monday a.m., November 14th check-out time. Meals before the structured program will be arranged informally by those who plan to arrive early. Choose in-residence or commuter participation - Number of participants limited to eleven; five beds (including sofa beds) available unless some are willing to share a bed. In-residence participation is limited to women; men welcome as commuters (discuss this with organizer if interested).

If you need to jump-start your stalled writing project, this is the time, this is the place.

This is a writing-intensive multi-day program with award-winning YA novelist Adrian Fogelin (Crossing Jordan, The Sorta Sisters, Anna Casey's Place in the World, Sister Spider Knows All and more; www.adrianfogelin.com). Writers may participate in-residence at Abbeyfeale, or as commuters. They ideally will bring a work in progress. Activities will include instruction, writing, readings, peer discussion sessions and consultation with Fogelin. Commuter participation fee of $600 will include all onsite lunches and dinners and activities. Resident participant fee or $675 includes lodging and breakfast, in addition to the above.

             

Participants may avail themselves of several discounts-—the "meal deal" (taking responsibility for providing one or more meals for the group), "friends discount" (signing up with a friend, which reduces the cost for both), or presenting a coupon from a past Fiction Among Friends retreat. See details of fees on the St. George Island Rates page. Payment may be accomplished through this web site. Email for registration form.

St. George Island Writers' Retreat

From sunup to sundown (and later), women at the St. George Island Writers' Retreat for Women share writing, reading, critique sessions, meals, occasionally a tear and always a lot of laughter. We have celebrated publications, mourned loss. We rejoice in the progress of each member, commiserate about frustrations, and update one another on the writing progress of the past year. The St. George Island Writers' Retreat for women offers a combination of structured and unstructured time, group time and alone time—a flexible schedule that gives each member blocks of time to progress on his or her own personal projects and consult with Adrian Fogelin, award-winning author of seven young adult novels.

For other questions, or to be placed on a mailing list for future retreats, email FictionFriends@aol.com or phone (518) 623-9305 summer; (352) 463-3089 or 352-949-1706 winter.
