About

If you’re considering a writing event this year, but are looking for just as much of an opportunity to sit down and write as you are to learn from the pros, then join literary agent, Katharine Sands, and our very own Jessica Bell at the Homeric Writers’ Retreat & Workshop from Aug. 1-7, 2013. It’s held on the beautiful Greek isle of Ithaca which remains unspoiled by the modern world. Even in the height of summer you can find a secluded beach or a rustic corner to contemplate your thoughts. On Ithaca you'll discover the island’s rich culture and the reason why it holds such a special place in the hearts of those who have visited its shores. And we're proud to announce that you have the chance to WIN A SCHOLARSHIP TO THIS RETREAT!

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions.
