What I like about Redbird...
"I think what I like most about Redbird is it's a safe place to come together with other writers in order to grow together as writers."
Cheryl Kelley

Sponsor: Redbird Studio. An award winning writing center with a 15 year history of serving writers of all ages and interests. Home base: The Marian Center, Milwaukee.

THE HAIRSHIRT RETREAT
Simply put, the purpose of a writing retreat is to give you time to write - without interruption or apology - in other words, something rare.
The Sinsinawa Convent is a perfect setting for quiet reflection and work. You'll find plenty of nooks and crannies in which to sit, paths to walk, and your own private room in which to give voice to your latest idea.
The retreat will begin on Thursday evening with a meet and greet, refreshments, and discussion of goals for the weekend.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you'll have plenty of time to write, attend the roundtable groups and if you wish, enjoy a private conference with retreat leader, Judy Bridges.
On Monday, you'll have a few more hours to write before we present THE HAIRSHIRT AWARD and wrap up the retreat after the noon meal.
- Roundtable sessions offer constructive feedback from other writers and a chance to share ideas.
- Private conferences with Judy Bridges are available to discuss your work.
- As a special request, please refrain from wearing scented products at the retreat.
