FIND YOUR ART/LIFE BALANCE
Weekend on the Water 2018 is a craft-focused and community-building retreat. A chance for writers and illustrators to get away from the distractions of daily life and share their passion.
—Attend an inspirational session by Newbery award–winner Kirby Larson
—Learn a new skill from Candlewick illustrator Jennifer K. Mann
—Discover insights on life and art from special guest author Joni Sensel
—Bond with those who are grappling with the same work/life/art issues
—Or just find a cozy nook and let your creativity expand
Make room in your life for this three-day (or an optional FOUR-day) retreat to write, draw, bond, and walk in the woods at IslandWood. This retreat is open to all writers and illustrators at any stage of their creative journey. This retreat will not include marketing tips, agent pitches, or salesmanship. In this weekend, you’ll escape the competitive side of the book industry and focus on your craft and gain peer support. Join us!
