2027 Dates TBD
Wayne State University Press
Detroit, Michigan
Join the Detroit Writing Room and award-winning author and writing coach Lynne Golodner in 2027 for an interactive long weekend writing retreat in Detroit.
We’ll hear from local authors, meander among artwork, murals and nature, and taste some of the best flavors the Motor City has to offer, all as inspiration for our writing!
This generative retreat, open to writers of all genres and experience levels, includes time to write, focused instruction and excursions throughout the city. Writing sessions will tentatively be held at Michigan Central Station on Friday and the Wayne State University Press on Saturday and Sunday morning.
“It was awesome to spend time with highly accomplished writers and hear their process. Being in a different environment, the writing instruction hit differently and inspired new stories and characters”
