Writing Connections
Writing Connections is a podcast devoted to exploring the literary landscape and larger creative ecosystem, looking at the ways we connect with and support one another through retreats, residencies, writing groups, conferences, mentorships, and other opportunities and relationships. Host Laura Walker interviews writers and creative supporters across genres, disciplines, and geographic boundaries.

Ideas for Choosing Your Writing Retreat Focus
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re in the early planning stages of your writing retreat, you may be thinking about who you want your retreat to help most. I’ve talked a lot about the importance of figuring this out so when someone sees your messaging on social media, in your email newsletters, and on your retreat info page, they know if your writing retreat is the best fit for them.
In this week’s episode, I’m going to give you examples of what other writing retreat leaders have done to attract very specific types of writers.
