A participant-focused writers’ conference. Advance your craft and energize your writing at the 33rd annual Winter Poetry & Prose Getaway. Enjoy challenging and supportive workshops, insightful feedback and an encouraging community. Choose from workshops in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, memoir, songwriting and more.
Among fan favorites, we’re thrilled to welcome several new faculty including Ysabel Y. González, Eugenia Leigh, Dionne Ford and Catherine Pierce. Peter E. Murphy will also return as a feedback session leader for his classic Poetry Incubator.
There are plenty of new workshops among our options in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, memoir, songwriting and storytelling. See the full lineup of three-day writing workshops and add-on workshops.
Peter Murphy will again match up to $5,000 in donations toward scholarships! Our goal is to offer at least 10 scholarship seats.

“I had never previously attended ANY writer’s conference or retreat. I can’t express how marvelous it was to find the Getaway completely devoid of elitism. Never have I felt so welcomed by such a massive gathering of complete strangers.”
“If you have doubts about attending this workshop due to experiences at outside events—or worries about fitting in if this would be your first writers event—put your misgivings aside and dive in. You will find a warm welcome, wonderful writers to work alongside and a stretching session for your writing muscles.”
