If you don't know me, I'm Jason Sitzes, former director of Writers Retreat Workshop, editor/instructor for Breakout Novel Intensives, and have worked for over 20 years in the publishing business.
I'm announcing a very exciting four-day morning writing workshop/retreat that's happening in our backyard! That's right. A four-day workshop from August 22 through 25 (Mon-Thurs) from 9 am until 1 pm in the Cedar Park/Austin area. There is air-conditioned space for classes and writing so no worries about the Texas heat. For two summers my wife, Lisa, has held three weeks of art camps for elementary students in this space. All a huge success, I decided to give it a go for adult writing "camps."

Watch me in this video explain what the week will look like. You can see the schedule, some additional pictures and register here.
Registration is very limited as classes will take place in our back studio. Plus, I want ample time for 1-1 sessions over 15 pages of work you'll send prior to our meeting. |
Here is a brief schedule. If you have any questions please let us know.
If you've attended a workshop I've worked in the past, especially Writers Retreat Workshop, this morning schedule we put together years ago is very much based on that platform.
