  • Fall Memoir Writing Retreat: Save $300 Before September 16th

    If you’re writing a memoir or have an ache in your gut because you need to get started, I’d love to help. Give yourself the gift of an intimate weekend memoir writing retreat this fall at Revel Retreat’s beautiful center tucked up against the mountains in Roslyn, WA (think Northern exposure). This is an entire weekend devoted to you and your story – complete with amazing people, food, wine (lots of it), conversation and support. And the best part is that if you register before September 16th, you will receive $300 off the regular $1197 rate.
    I partnered with host extraordinaire Joanie Parsons and Revel Retreats in February and it was such an incredible experience for everyone involved we are doing it again.
    Here are all the details. Hope to see you there!

    • Date: November 2nd– 4th2018
    • Price: $1197 ($897 if registered prior to September 16th2018)
    • Limited to seven writers
    • To register, email me at ricks.ingrid@gmail.com
