Fall 2020 Online Writing Intensive
Got a writing project to get done? Or maybe you’re hoping to start one?
We have the perfect opportunity for you! Join us (C.J. Redwine & Mary Weber!) as we jumpstart our writing schedules for the holiday season and craft our next stories!
We’re hosting an online 4 week writing intensive retreat (meaning 4 weeks of fun, no stress!) with over 8 hours of teaching, exclusive new resources (like a cookbook with cozy meal ideas, a journal just for authors, writing schedule help, etc), a private writing group, writing sprints, and more!
Teachings will be live every Tuesday evening from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. CST via Crowdcast (but you’ll have access to them afterward in case you miss one or want a re-watch) and the rest of the resources and retreat will take place in a top secret Facebook group. Topics include the in-depth layers of character development (let’s take them deeper!), the 7 main plotting methods (because no two books or authors are the same), building an atmospheric world readers want more of, how to strengthen your voice and dialogue, and the top writing mistakes to avoid.
Sound like something you’d like? JOIN US FOR ALL THE FUN!!!
What if you can’t make it for the Facebook parts? No problem! You can still tune in to the teachings and get the main resources and weekly class updates and goodies emailed directly to you!
What if your schedule will be too busy to write? Also no problem! Our goal is to provide the support, resources, and writing sprints, but you only join in on what you want! It’s that easy.
Cost is $90 for all 4 weeks, teaching, & resources. Dates are October 20 – November 20.

Are you ready to craft the next bestseller with us? We’ve got our book ideas ready! Let’s do this all together!

Fall 2021 Retreat
On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you need to experience a few days of pampering, connection, and rest?
If you’re like most creatives, this past season has been mentally, emotionally, and creatively draining. What you need is an escape from the stresses and distractions of everyday life. A chance to push a reset button and breathe freely while others take care of you.
If that sounds perfect, then join us for a small, intimate retreat in the gorgeous city of North Myrtle Beach, right beside the Atlantic ocean. The retreat condo opens at 8:00 a.m. and closes at 10:00 p.m. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, coffee, water, and later wine and dessert will be provided. Workshops and writing sprints are scheduled into each day, along with plenty of writing time with gorgeous beach views. Explore the delicious restaurants in the area for dinner or join us for an adventurous dinner theater at Medieval Times, walk the beach in front of the condo, and then return to the quiet of your own lodgings* for the night.
You’ll leave refreshed, renewed, and refocused on your dreams!
