Post 8 Maui 2020 Writing Retreat

The 2020 Writing Retreat in Maui  

Chuck Sambuchino

Freelance Editor and Writers Conference Organizer

What I can tell you right now:

• This is not a writer's
  conference. It is a writing retreat. The amazing island setting allows writers to have the most downtime to write, learn, relax, meet other writers and read.
• It will last 4-5 days.
• I am aiming for fall/late 2020 — somewhere from September on of that year
• Because of limited space, this is a first-come-first-serve retreat, with 20 or fewer spots available.
• There will be almost a dozen intensive sessions on writing and publishing.
• All attendees will receive various personal critiques on their work.
• While many events take an academic focus, few events are able to seriously do all three of the following: 1) address the craft of writing and storytelling, 2) address the business of writing and getting published, and 3) allow writers plenty of time to recharge their batteries, read, and write creatively. This is a special retreat designed to not only maximize writing instruction and give writers the precise tools they need to get published, but also maximize personal time—whether than means writing, relaxing by the ocean, sipping a margarita, taking some time to meditate, or hopefully all four and much more.
• Maui is awesome.
