Would you like to connect with others, be inspired, and relax in a beautiful setting? If so, this is the retreat for you! Situated at lovely Coldwater Gardens, Sand ‘n Stories is an exclusive writing retreat aimed to help you leave ready to tell your story. By the end of the retreat, you'll have:

• Independent Publishing Techniques & Procedures (KNOWLEDGE!!!)
• An Outline/Timeline for Writing
• Resources for Formatting, Cover, Editing, & More
• A Marketing Plan for Before & After Publication
• Connections to Other Writers & Experts

On Friday, enjoy a cocktail while being inspired and painting your very own canvas. We will get to know each other and where we are going on this journey. You'll get some watercolor painting techniques to apply, and your work will be inspired by your story. It will be a nice souvenir from the weekend.

On Saturday, join the group for “The Write Brunch,” where local experts & writers discuss publishing and more in a panel type setting. Authors will share their experiences in the writing process, the different forms of publishing, & marketing their works. Then there will be a question & answer session where you can ask them what you need for your own work.

On Saturday afternoon, there will be one-on-one writing, editing, publishing, & marketing sessions. You can schedule your session, and in your free time you can write unplugged or enjoy the gardens and grounds.

Sunday is all about relaxing! You can enjoy the gardens and the creek, or you can hang out and write with a good cup of coffee/tea. A picnic lunch will be served at 1 p.m.
