Fifth Annual Sandhill Writers Retreat set for May 20
All who enjoy writing are urged to take part in the fifth annual Sandhill Writers Retreat at University Campus, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday, May 20. The one-day retreat is an opportunity to enjoy workshops with visiting authors and members of university’s creative writing faculty in a serene setting and at modest cost. The retreat will offer 13 hands-on writing classes in fiction, nonfiction, journalism, poetry, spoken word, and writing for veterans. There will be an optional open-reading time for participants at lunchtime, and a faculty reading and book signing session later in the day. Registration for members of the public is $85. Teachers, non-SLU students, and senior citizens will be admitted for $65. Registration is only $25 for veterans and active-duty military, and SLU students, faculty, and staff. A box lunch will also be available for purchase or participants may bring their own.
Regular registration closes May 12. Late registrants pay an additional fee. A limited number of one-on-one manuscript consultations will also be available for an additional fee of $75 to writers who provide up to 10 pages of work (fiction, nonfiction, or poetry) for review by May 1.
