Carol "Doc" Dougherty is as gifted a teacher as she was a student back in the early years of WRITERS RETREAT WORKSHOP, when Gary Provost was her instructor of the ten-day intensive, nuts-and-bolts course for writers of novels and narrative nonfiction. Thanks to Doc's playful personality, high intellect, and unflinching willingness to accept valuable feedback as well as to provide it compassionately, she easily earned an honored place in all of our hearts.   

I whole-heartedly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.  To attend an intensive workshop with Doc as instructor, mentor and spiritual guide is to do yourself an enormous favor.

Each workshop promises an unforgettable experience.  I daresay you will learn more about crafting your novel than you ever imagined possible in so short a period of time.  And as you travel along your path, as you develop your story sense and improve your writing skills, you are guaranteed to learn just as much -- if not more -- about human nature, itself.  About you, yourself.

To your happiness, your courage, your dream -- as you journey onward,

Gail Provost Stockwell (aka Nushka Resnikoff),
Co-Founder, WRITERS RETREAT WORKSHOP
