Registration Open for 2026 Exclusive Pen Arts Writers’ Retreat

Letters members, we are once again offering our Pen Women exclusive Writers’ Retreat, hosted on October 27-30. Only four writers will be admitted to this fall retreat at Pen Arts. Writers should come with a project in the works in any genre.

This three-night, four-day retreat includes private and personal instruction with professional editing, group tutorials, private writing hideaways, breakfasts, lunches, evening snacks, evening readings with tea or coffee, free room at Pen Arts, and walking tours for inspiration. Registration price is $425.

Due to the four-person limit, acceptance is on a first-come, first-registered basis. You may send questions to Nancy Dafoe, NLAPW president, at dafoe.nancy@gmail.com. Send registration check to Evelyn B. Wofford, NLAPW Treasurer, 1300 17th Street NW, Washington, D.C. Make sure to include all contact information, including cell phone number, email, NLAPW branch, writing genre, and mailing address.

We hope to offer similar retreats for artists and musicians in the near future. Planning is in the works for these additional retreats.
