By gathering in an intimate setting to share
meals, conversation and a love of writing, our small group builds the trust needed to give and receive useful critique of
each other’s writing.
Cost: $254. – includes
workshop, 2 dinners, 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches
Location: McGregor Mountain Lodge, 2815 Fall River Road, Estes Park (bordering Rocky Mountain National Park)
Who’s It For? Writers of creative or narrative nonfiction, nature writing, memoir, fiction. Every year, submissions
span various genres, with everyone benefitting from the workshop.
The Workshop: Participants pre-submit up to 15 pages of a work-in-progress,
to be circulated to the group before the workshop. Participants read and critique all submissions, and share these at the
workshop. Submissions are due by February
5. Work should be submitted via e-mail to Mary@MaryTaylorYoung.com. I will
then circulate these to everyone via e-mail. Please submit in Microsoft Word format 97-2003 (older Word programs can’t
read Word 2007 docs) or let me know if you need to do something else.
Comments
from pastworkshops:
“I didn't want to break the spell as I left Sunday morning! I learned soooo much, can't
wait to find time to re-write my piece and maybe share it again for comments. I found the feedback invaluable, supportive, and
non-judgmental.”
“The workshop was wonderful! The best I've ever taken (and I've taken a lot)—great group of people and
the venue was perfect.”
"I
highly recommend Mary Taylor Young's workshop for anyone who has a piece of writing that needs help in getting over the
'hump'. If you need meaningful critique and suggestions, this is the weekend for you!"
