Retreat
WriterCon Retreat in Branson
July 17-21, 2024
Join us for a five-day, small-group writing retreat at America’s HQ for family entertainment and outdoor adventures, Branson, Missouri. The retreat will take place at the luxurious Grand Oaks Hotel, which is offering participants a significantly reduced rate and a generous breakfast each day of your stay. Attendance is limited, so register today!
Programming
We will meet for five days, Wednesday through Sunday, at least four hours a day. We will fill those sessions with critique, interactive discussions of various writing and publishing topics, editing, and much more. You will submit a partial manuscript before the retreat begins so your instructors, William and Lara Bernhardt, will be familiar with your work and ready to offer useful feedback when you arrive. We will also have freetime optional activities, dinners, and other fun surprises. Best of all, you will meet your new writing family, people with whom you can consult, commiserate, or collaborate long after the retreat ends. Many retreat groups we’ve taught have remained in touch and become close-knit writer families.
Venue
We will meet at the beautiful Grand Oaks Hotel in Branson. While you are not required to stay there to attend the retreat, we highly recommend it, not only for the convenience, but also for the proximity to both Branson entertainment sites and gorgeous outdoor hiking and scenic locations. To make your reservation, call 800.553.6423. Tell them you’re with the WriterCon Retreat and use the code #25651 to get the discounted rate!
