Join us for a weekend devoted to writing in a beautiful setting. Choose how to spend your time. Using guidelines that inspire constructive and positive suggestions, Barbara Morrison will lead critique sessions for those who want feedback on their work. In these sessions, she will also discuss relevant craft topics. There will be time for you to write, swim, and walk the lovely paths at camp and nearby Nature Conservancy trails. Evenings may include readings and game in front of the fire. Join your fellow writers for a weekend in the woods!
A beautiful rustic camp, nestled in pine and beech forest, Pinewoods is located in a 25-acre pine and beech forest between Long Pond and Round Pond in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Everyone has a story to tell. Whether you use fiction, poetry, memoir, or personal essay, this weekly workshop will help you better understand and appreciate how a story is put together and give you the tools to create your own. Using readings and guided writing sprints, we will explore techniques used in creative writing and practice applying them. There will be opportunities to critique each other's work using guidelines that inspire constructive and positive suggestions. If you want to understand or review the fundamentals of creative writing, this workshop is for you.
