Join us for our May MEMBERS ONLY Power Pitch!
Attention paid members of Writing Away Refuge,
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.

Just how important is the right POV for your book?
Point of View is a powerful narrative tool that shapes the audience experience. Whether it's first, closed third, or an omniscient world view, your POV can make or break your story.
Join Lee Ann over Zoom, Sat., May 9th, for this new masterclass!
(Space is limited to 25 writers because of in class "prompt" writing.
Early registration is encouraged.)

Join Us for the Writing Away Refuge Page Exchange!
This is a fun, interactive workshop and everyone receives feedback on their first 5 and last 5 pages of their manuscripts. Most workshops focus only on those first 5 pages, but we believe those last 5 pages should pack an equal punch!
