That’s how BJ Hollars, writer and director of the Chippewa Valley Writers Guild, describes the Priory Writers’ Retreat. Here are some more details, in BJ’s words:

This summer we’ll be hosting writers-in-residence Nickolas Butler (fiction), Dasha Kelly Hamilton (poetry), David McGlynn (memoir) and Mary Mack (comedy writing for all genres).  In addition, former Wisconsin poet laureate Max Garland will deliver the keynote address. The 460.00 price includes three-nights private lodging, all meals, drinks, workshop, instruction, a private concert with the Eggplant Heroes, transport and ticket to a reading in our region’s newest art center, the Pablo Center, etc.  All info is available here.

And now for some of my words. This retreat has it all—great writers-in-residence, a setting that is cool but not so cool that it’s distracting (a former monastery!), and it’s a really good value. Click here to learn more & apply.
