Join NYT-bestseller Beth Revis and award-winner Cristin Terrill in beautiful Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, for five days of learning, writing, relaxation, and fun! 

With an intimate group of no more than fourteen writers, you'll learn craft tips and publishing secrets from Beth and Cristin in a series of morning workshops and meet with each author one-on-one for a critique of your current manuscript. Beth focuses on the big picture, examining your structure and plot via a five-page synopsis and helping you troubleshoot problem areas, while Cristin gets into the nitty-gritty of your first 3,000 words, offering tips to refine things like characterization, voice, and style. Together this gives you a holistic overview of your work. Have more questions or need further advice during the week? No problem, because you'll be eating, writing and hanging out alongside the authors everyday, and they are always happy to help.

​​

After the morning dedicated to learning, your afternoons are free for you to get some serious words in. Grab a chair on the back deck overlooking the mountains or spread out on a couch and get to work! Need to take a break? Grab a new friend for a walk down one the many scenic hiking trails or go for a dip in the private pool. After a delicious dinner, get some more writing done, roast some s'mores over the fire pit, or do some stargazing from the hot tub.

You'll return home with new words written, new enthusiasm for your project, and new friends to join you on your publishing journey!
