About the Getaway
Testimonials

Participants are enthusiastic about their Getaway experiences. Here is some of their feedback.

"This has been a transcendent experience. In the top 5 workshop experiences I've ever had, and I don't impress easily!"
   ~ Margaret D., Finishing Your Novel

"I am still enjoying a sparked energy I got from the Getaway. When I've gone to other writing conferences they've usually felt competitive and unsatisfying. The Getaway was different, it was just the kind of encouraging jolt I needed in the midst of the winter doldrums and workaday stress; it was both nurturing and supportive. I've returned home excited about writing and revising more in my ongoing effort to keep poetry a significant and integral part of my life."
   ~ Jill, Advanced Poetry Writing

"I've been attending for years and the Getaway is always a high point of my year."
   ~ Sam, Advanced Poetry Writing

"Thanks for a great weekend. My essay evolved into something wonderful. I couldn't have done it without my workshop. I'll be back."
   ~ Margaret M., Creative Nonfiction

"I love the interaction between participants and faculty. It sets the Getaway apart from other writers' conferences."
   ~ Kay, Advanced Poetry Writing
