The Sun Spring Writing Retreat

We invite you to join Sun readers, writers, and staff for a weekend retreat celebrating the written word this May 22 through 24 in North Carolina. The authors will lead workshops geared to bring forth the best in your own essays, short stories, and poems. A Readers Write session will help get your pen moving. And the weekend will include readings by the authors. We hope you’ll join us. 

The event will be held at the Wildacres Retreat in Little Switzerland, North Carolina. You don’t have to think of yourself as a writer to attend. The best part of a Sun gathering is getting to meet people who appreciate the magazine’s compassionate, unflinching view of the world as much as you do.

Register online here. A large enrollment is expected, so we recommend registering early.

We’re dedicated to making The Sun accessible to everyone, regardless of background or financial circumstances. That extends to our events. The Sun will award four full scholarships to emerging writers who would not otherwise be able to attend. Apply for a full scholarship here.
