“I loved this workshop's craft focus and can't wait to head back for the retreat.
Pajaro Dunes is the perfect spot for honing my writing, while I indulge in
quiet beach walks, camaraderie, and catering!” — Tracy Holczer

The Great Escape! Enjoy solitude in a serene beachfront townhome, immersed in your novel for up to four days—from Thursday or Friday anytime, through Sunday or Monday noon. Hone your craft, occasionally intermingling with our Whole Novel faculty and advanced or published peers.

Our Basic Retreat includes your lodging at Pajaro Dunes resort, most meals with faculty, and introductory keynotes. The Retreat-Plus adds in-depth, novel-crafting sessions to further enrich your experience. We offer the spacious Retreat House (with fireplace and decks) to seven writers of middle-grade and YA novels; choose either double- or single-occupancy bedrooms, each with its own private bath.

Our 2012 enrollment has already started for October 5-7 (plus shoulder dates). For details, contact us and/or check this page soon!

“What release to write so that one forgets oneself, forgets one’s companion,
forgets where one is or what one is going to do next—to be drenched in sleep or in the sea. Pencils and pads alive with letters heap up on the desk...” — Anne Morrow Lindbergh
