I am hosting four—count ’em, four—retreats this year, and I’m offering a 10% discount for our SkipJack subscribers! Three of the retreats are for writers, and the other is for readers (and that one is free). And what are writers anyway but readers armed with fast fingers or a thick number two pencil?
First, who am I and why would you come to one of my retreats? Besides that I am an experienced writing coach and believe in a healthy mix of hard work and fun, I’m a USA Today bestseller and Silver Falchion Best Mystery winner and have a whole lot of happy past attendees.
I have some great retreats planned this year:
- Indie Publishing Success Retreat (April, TX)
- Enter to win! READER APPRECIATION WEEK (CONTEST), Free for WINNERS (June, WY)
- JUMPSTART THAT NOVEL (July, WY)
- CRIME FICTION INTENSIVE (October, TX)
In addition to instruction and structured time, all of my retreats include invaluable, informal discussions, home cooked meals, serene settings, and a chance for breaks to enjoy local activities. More information on each retreat can be found at http://pamelafaganhutchins.com/writing-retreats/.

Pamela resides deep in the heart of Nowheresville, Texas and in the frozen north of Snowheresville, Wyoming. She has a passion for great writing and smart authorpreneurship as well as long hikes and trail rides with her hunky husband, giant horses, and pack of rescue dogs, donkeys, and goats. She also leaps medium-tall buildings in a single bound (if she gets a good running start).
