“I believe that the Summer Writing Retreat is a fantastic opportunity for writers to get their creative wells filled, so to speak. It’s almost like you can feel the re-ignition of enthusiasm and courage that seems to fire up participants as they share and refine their work. Plus, it’s a blast!” Charlotte Gullick
“There’s a special connection in the Summer Writing Retreat. Getting extended time to get to know both students and their works in progress, and to build an all-new community with them, is always tremendously rewarding.” Stacey Swann

“I love teaching at the WLT Summer Writing Retreat because it reminds me that the main reason we are on the planet is to connect with each other and share our stories.” – Donna M. Johnson
“[I]n my late 20’s I discovered WLT for the first time, birds of my feather, soul mates and mentors, and they said the words I needed to hear: ‘welcome home.'”
“I work very closely with my clients, hoping for lifelong partnerships! Advocating for them and their careers is a privilege. I am usually pretty hands-on during the editorial stage.” -Julia Kardon, HG Literary
“I joined to learn how to create the stories I wanted to read; I stay because of the camaraderie in the WLT community.”
“You have to sit down and write. And you have to do it intentionally. Carve out some time, carve out a space, devote yourself to putting words down. It’s as simple as that. Inspiration follows action. Sometimes it’s the other way around, but most often it’s not. Don’t worry about how much you’re writing each day or whether it’s true to the project, particularly in the early days of a project. But do write, and write, and then write.” -Gordy Sauer
“I get emails from readers that make my heart glow. They say such nice things!”
“I always advise writers—and try to remind myself—to avoid chasing trends. The journey from writing a book/proposal to submitting to editors to eventual publication takes years. Marketplace attitudes meanwhile are fickle. There’s no guarantee that what’s hot right now will be hot in three or more years. Better to work on projects that you can see yourself being excited about for a long stretch of time.” -Eloy Bleifuss Prados, Janklow & Nesbit Associates
