Ink and Apparition: Writing the Ghosts of Our Lives 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this immersive workshop, writers will explore the ghosts that haunt our lives—memories, inherited stories, unresolved relationships, and cultural legacies. Through generative writing activities and close readings from the lyrical experts in creative nonfiction, we will conjure, confront, and ultimately reshape the hauntings that linger. 

Our “ghosts” are not just specters of trauma or loss—they are also the sources of truth, enduring memory, love, and resilience. There’s a reason why they emerge when least expected—a reason why they whisper. Whether your ghosts appear as inherited silences or emotional echoes, we will create a space to name them, write them, and, if necessary, vanquish them.

The Creative Notebook: How to Get Unstuck, Break Through Blocks, and Take Your Writing to the Next Level (A Multi-Genre Workshop) 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The writer and artist Melissa Sweet advises writers: “Go out and play!” How do we reclaim that sense of play in our work? How do we access new ideas and make our work feel alive? This class will show how a fresh, blank notebook can serve as a life-changing creative space: a place that can generate ideas for fiction, memoir, essays, poetry, and articles; a place where we can dive more deeply into our work; and a place where we can break rules. Every day, we will do writing and creativity exercises, and read poetry and prose for inspiration. Weather permitting, the class will take place partly outdoors; we’ll discuss how writing in nature can inspire ideas and help us revise. The class will also include advice on submitting our work for publication, navigating the process of finding an agent, and strategies to manage interruptions and get our creative work completed.

Honing the Poetic Voice
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In this workshop, we will explore the idea of poetic voices---plural, because they won’t just be yours. Not only will we analyze and develop the voice of the primary speaker of the poem, considering tone, mood, and character, but also voices through personae, historical voices, cultural voices, and even voices through the lens of pop culture. We’ll read and discuss examples, workshop the poems you’ve submitted ahead of time, and then put the techniques we study into practice by writing new poems. We will also employ the technique of “editing by ear” to revise poems based on their readings, as well as study and practice performative and reading techniques for our poetry. After all, a poem is only half on the page. As you’ll learn, the other half is in the delivery.

Playing the Long Game: The Novel, the Writer, and the Business of Books
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From outline to first draft, from revision to submission, from representation to publication, a published novel is years in the making. This workshop takes a holistic approach to long-form fiction, considering not only the craft of writing but the importance of building a sustainable creative career. Participants will explore the joys and challenges of novel-writing, including world building, character development, and narrative structure, but unlike most writing workshops, “Playing the Long Game” also prioritizes professionalization: students will devise work plans, cultivate research skills, and learn the basics of the publishing business. During our week together, we will think deeply about the long-term goals for our manuscripts and how they fit into the larger arc of our creative careers. This workshop is ideal for early and mid-career writers who are drafting or revising a novel for adults in any genre.

The Creative Writing Retreat offers either a weekend, a weeklong, or combination session featuring workshops run by award winning writers and student-focused teachers. The program includes time to write, craft lectures, and panels. Workshops will be limited to no more than 10 participants, ensuring that each author will have plenty of critique time. Nightly faculty readings, publishing related panels and receptions, along with an open mic, will offer plenty of networking opportunities, but the emphasis will be on immersing oneself in the writing life and one’s own work.<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px 10px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;line-height:1.5;max-width:100%">The Publishing Seminar is 8 days focused on one topic of particular relevance to the publishing industry.

Each attendee will have a private bedroom unless you’d like to share a room with another attendee. (Email Carla Spataro cspataro@rosemont.edu for special pricing). Attendees will need to bring their own sheets and towels. All meals are provided during the weekend portion of the retreat. During the week, a welcome and farewell dinner will be provided along with breakfast and lunch each day. Snacks and beverages are provided in the evening during readings and panels. Dinner is on your own.
