Workshops for Writers
Hello Writers,
Twice each year I offer a picture book writing workshop near my home at Amicalola Falls State Park in north Georgia. The park is a wonderful place to forget the busyness of everyday life and escape into writerly thoughts. You can stay at the Lodge with all of its amenities, or you can opt for a cabin beneath the waterfall. The many miles of hiking trails provide a tranquil environment to plan your next book. The workshops I offer are typically 2-3 day intensives that focus on you and your work. Please return to this page to learn the particulars about upcoming events.
For accommodations, visit the Amicalola Falls State Park Website.
