Don't miss our W.A.R. Winter Write In, Saturday and Sunday, December 6th-7th!

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 agent liaison 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 of their choosing (up to a $300 value).

(This weekend Zoom Write In is limited to 20 writers and only offered seasonally.)
