Rosemont College is a peaceful sanctuary located just minutes by train from center city Philadelphia. The Creative Writing Retreat offers either a weekend, a weeklong, or combination session featuring workshops run by award winning writers and student-focused teachers. The program includes time to write, craft lectures, and panels. Workshops will be limited to no more than 10 participants, ensuring that each author will have plenty of critique time. Nightly faculty readings, publishing related panels and receptions, along with an open mic, will offer plenty of networking opportunities, but the emphasis will be on immersing oneself in the writing life and one’s own work.

The Publishing Seminar is 8 days focused on one topic of particular relevance to the publishing industry. The emphasis here is on discussion, case studies, and research with access to all the panels, networking, and readings.

Housing is available on campus in Connelly Hall, which has suite-style room accommodations and several communal baths per suite. Each attendee will have a private bedroom unless you’d like to share a room with another attendee. (Email Carla Spataro [email protected] for special pricing). Attendees will need to bring their own sheets and towels. All meals are provided during the weekend portion of the retreat. During the week, a welcome and farewell dinner will be provided along with breakfast and lunch each day. Snacks and beverages are provided in the evening during readings and panels. Dinner is on your own. Coffee, Tea and snacks are available 24/7.
