Writing can be therapeutic during anxious and stressful times, but many struggle to find the inspiration, the time, or the discipline to do so when the world around them feels chaotic and unknown. Yellow Arrow wants to help you jumpstart your creativity by offering a Writers’ Retreat, hosted by the Yellow Arrow Publishing 2020 Writers-in-Residence. This retreat provides a unique opportunity to be a part of a small group of emerging writers establishing connections and coming together as a writing community.

Our four Writers-in-Residence will share how they have each found inspiration during these unprecedented times, lead a panel discussion on how to break out of your quarantine funk and get writing, and offer guidance on overcoming a variety of challenges writers face. A detailed agenda will be forthcoming but if you are interested, please register now as spaces are very limited.

Yellow Arrow values everyone’s health and wellbeing and as such, we will be taking careful measures to ensure everyone’s safety including providing a spacious outdoor location for the event that allows for appropriate distancing, sanitization practices, and minimal contact.
