writer’s block

Calling all queer writers who have something to say! This retreat is for you. Spend a moody, cozy weekend with fellow writers as we write by candlelight and drink night caps because we just have to finish that last chapter. The weekend will be filled with author chats, a writer’s forum, as well as a writer’s salon to end the night where we sit by the fire and share what we’ve been working on.

Dark Academia meets queering the page!

Readers are also welcome and often make great beta readers :)
