Creative Writing Retreat 2026

Join Westport Writers’ Workshop instructors and writers for an immersive retreat at the Highlights Foundation campus, tucked away in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Designed specifically for writers seeking to refine their craft and elevate their storytelling, you will have daily designated solo writing time, group prompt writing sessions with program director Liz Matthews, craft lectures with author and instructor Julie Sarkissian and screenwriter and instructor Alana Sanko, as well as yoga, and evening activities including readings and film screenings. This transformative experience will offer dedicated time to dive deep into your manuscript, discover new genres and strategies to establish a more regular writing routine, or simply the accountability and community that is missing in your regular life.
