The Zephyr and The Mill Writing Retreat CEXTN27-202540

If you have been looking for inspiration, motivation, and accountability for your writing, this is the retreat for you. The Zephyr and The Mill retreat begins on Friday, writing on board the Amtrak Zephyr as we cross Northern California and the Sierras into Nevada. It continues at The Peppermill Reno Resort in the writing suite and wraps up with more writing on the train as it takes us back to Emeryville on Monday. This workshop offers seven group writing sessions, two 30-minute 1:1 individual coaching sessions with Bronwyn Emery (one before and one after the retreat), three dinner table discussions, and three Proof of Write sessions where you share up to five minutes of the day’s writing for positive feedback from the group. This writing retreat is an intensive, immersive experience that offers 20+ hours of structured writing time across four days. It is the ideal environment for making significant progress on your short story or novel. On this retreat, you will learn the value of scheduling timed writing blocks for yourself in your everyday life, how to set realistic expectations around how much you can write over a long weekend, where your strengths lie, and how to embrace your creative identity.

Workshop fee includes:
Roundtrip travel from Emeryville to Reno on Amtrak, car service from Reno Amtrak to/ from hotel
3 nights single accommodation at the Peppermill Reno Resort 
Shared writing suite
Dinner together one night, snacks
