| Description: | Tired of the "star system" at writers' workshops? Looking for a place offering time to write as well as followship and critique from other professionals? The Rustbelt Roethke Writers' Retreat may be for you! Recharge your batteries, pick up new ideas and techniques, make friends and influence people, write and work with a discerning group of peers at Rustbelt Roethke, a professional-level writers' retreat and peer workshop with a comfortable, egalitarian atmosphere at a modest cost. 2011 will be our ninth year. Each year we have had a mix of about half returnees and half new people. We offer time to write in pleasant, comfortable, private surroundings on the modern, handsome and comfortable campus of Saginaw Valley State University, University Center, MI. The workshop features: * 2.5 hours per day (Monday-Saturday) in peer workshop groups of 3-5. * Poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction or mixed-genre groups. * Public readings featuring participants Monday through Thursday evenings (maximum 5 readers per evening). All participants featured in publicity. * Afternoon public presentations by participants who wish to give them. * All participants are welcome to offer their books for sale. * Informal Sunday evening picnic and Friday evening special event/meal included |
