ABBY’s WRITING RETREAT: Fall 2024

Join me for our second annual in-person writing retreat! This weekend experience takes the best part of our online classes and dials them up by being together in community. Join fellow creatives for two and a half days of writing, reading, sharing and making magic together. The retreat will primarily focus on generating new work (along with a revision workshop), but those mid-project are welcome to attend and direct the exercises toward their current draft.

Here’s what some of last years participants had to say about the weekend:

“Abby’s retreat fueled my writing for months after- the specific exercises (both to edit and create new work) gave me fodder and excitement for long after I left the room. The food, the company, the joy in the room, and the writing itself — all of it was a delicious gift.” -2023 retreat participant

"Abby’s writing retreat was amazing! As a newbie, it felt incredible to drop into this safe space. I truly appreciate the medicine Abby brings as a writing teacher/guide; it feels like writing midwifery." – 2023 retreat participant
