What happens when a Write-by-the-Lake Retreat Master Class ends but the writers keep meeting?

They get published, among other achievements. Our group of seven women decided to meet annually for a reunion, sharing and critiquing each other’s pages. We call ourselves “The Writing Sisters” and despite our differences in genres, locations and lifestyles, draw strength and power from our continued friendships. We just finished our third reunion in August. Find out what we do and how we keep in contact and what’s happened with our writing. We hope to inspire you to create a writing group that will fuel your passion and help you reach your writing goals.

Panel Participants Include: 
Julie Holmes (technical writer, blogger, new 2-book contract through agent attending this conference)
Barbara Belford (published author of three middle grade books with Sky Pony Press)
Christine DeSmet (Barnes & Noble best-selling author and instructor at UW)
Lisa Kusko (college writing instructor, currently seeking manuscript acceptance)
Roi Solberg (intuitive consultant, radio host, newly published author of The Caretaker)
Cheryl Hanson (self-published author of To Reap the Finest Wheat, retired social worker and speaker at women’s book groups)
Blair Hull (published author of St. Mary’s Private Dancer, UCC Minister, Whitewater, WI)
And a surprise guest.
