Though this year’s retreat has come and gone (and what a wonderful time we had!), we’re already at work for the 2023 retreat. So, be sure to check back and sign up for our newsletter to follow updates!
Spring is coming soon, inviting the return of blooms and birds and comfortable temperatures, opportunities to get outdoors and relax, to open windows and enjoy the fresh breeze.
Oh, and to write and commune with other writers, and to learn how to improve your craft while getting away from it all in the peaceful North Carolina mountains, of course.
Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?
If so, then you’ll be keen to join us at our first ever writer’s retreat!
Held Friday April 29th to Sunday May 1st, the 2022 Broadleaf Writers Retreat is set to offer you all you could want or need in a weekend writing getaway. For two days and two nights, in a private cabin in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina, we’ll get down to work with classes on the craft led by Broadleaf Writers Founder & Executive Director and author Zachary Steele, an open forum on the publishing industry, built-in writing time, a Saturday evening Storytime where you can read your work, and plenty of time to chat and make connections.
Meals are included in the price of registration, but should you wish to bring additional snacks, desserts, or goodies for yourself (or to share!), you are more than welcome. Linens will be provided. Proof of vaccination is required.
Space is limited to the first eight who register. So, register today!
At registration, you will have the opportunity to select between a single occupancy room (only a few are available!), or you may share the space with a friend or other attendee in one of the cabin’s remaining rooms with separate beds. If you do wish to share with a friend, or if you have any special dietary needs or concerns regarding lodging you wish to share, you will have an opportunity to note that at the end of your registration.
Though you will have opportunities to spend plenty of time outdoors or on the patio in quiet reflection, we do encourage our participants to get to know one another. This is a great chance to expand your writing community!

Check-in will begin Friday, April 29th at 3pm and we’ll wrap things up after lunch on Sunday, May the 1st. The schedule of the weekend can be found here: 2022 BWA Retreat Schedule.
