Writing Away Refuge
Our Writing Away Refuge Zoom Pitch Retreats focus on giving you the best opportunity to sign with a literary agent. It has been proven time and again that live pitching an agent is more effective than cold querying through email.

Attention, members! Join us for our first MEMBERS ONLY event!
Our Power Pitch focuses on your first page and your verbal pitch!
We will have a first page contest and a pitch slam.
The winners of each contest will win a 30-minute private consult with
a literary agent who represents their genre.
Don't miss our W.A.R. Spring Write In,
Sat. and Sun., March 28th-29th over Zoom!
This will be a weekend writing intensive over Zoom where you will perfect your first 10 pages, your verbal pitch and query letter, have a private consult with Lee Ann Ward about your manuscript, and create your perfect tagline/logline for your project. We will also conclude the weekend with a Pitch War, and the winner gets a FREE Writing Away Refuge course/class of their choosing (up to a $300 value)!
(This weekend Write In is limited to 25 writers so Lee Ann has dedicated time to spend with each attendee! Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot.)
