RopeWalk Writers Retreat

participant RopeWalk was one of the most pleasantly odd literary conferences I've ever had the privilege of attending. The setting is delightful, the quality of the workshops high, and the hospitality is unsurpassed. Really, it's an experience not to be missed.

RopeWalk 2010, June 13 - 19

The weeklong summer RopeWalk Writers Retreat gives participants an opportunity to attend workshops and to confer privately with one of four prominent writers. Historic New Harmony, Indiana, site of two nineteenth-century utopian experiments, provides an ideal setting for this event with its retreat-like atmosphere and its history of creative and intellectual achievement. At RopeWalk you will be encouraged to write, not simply listen to others talk about writing. In addition, several writers will present papers or give lectures, open to all participants, on aspects of the craft of writing.
