About The Event
Aspiring Writer’s Retreat: Masterclasses with Richard C. Morais
Subjects: Fiction, Memoir and Non-Fiction.
Target Audience: Aspiring writers interested in improving their skills and body of work, leading to publication.
Retreat requirements: A significant start on an ambitious piece of writing; must submit a 10-page writing sample and have a Zoom interview with Milford Writing Institute’s founder, Richard C. Morais. If accepted, you will then be asked to send the entire work in progress so Richard can read and digest your work before the retreat, so he is fully prepared to be of help and value.
Program: Three days of inspiration at the Milford Readers and Writers Festival, followed by a 5-day writing retreat. Mornings will be devoted to group editorial discussions; afternoons to writing, with attendees polishing their work based on the editorial comments they’ve received during the week. Each student is guaranteed in-depth private masterclass/masterclasses with Richard, and workshopped session/sessions with all attendees discussing your work. Since we will also be dining and relaxing together at key points in the day, there will be many other opportunities for engagement. At different points, Richard will also invite in special writers/guests to come talk to attendees about forging their own literary route and the business of writing and getting published.
Group size: Max 10.
