Watch for announcements of the 2011 Summer Writing Retreat

Get away from it all and head to scenic West Texas for a week of writing. The 2010 WLT Summer Writing Retreat at Sul Ross State University in Alpine is the perfect summer escape. There’s something about the stunning landscape of mountainous West Texas — not to mention the refreshing afternoon showers and cool summer evenings — that inspires writers to simply write.

Intensive writing workshops will be taught by five of Texas’ premier authors. Whichever class you select, it will feature:

  • Intimate classes (20 students maximum)
  • Personalized instruction
  • Time dedicated for writing

Close the book on the week at the 2010 Way Out West Texas Book Festival in Alpine July 29 - 31. The Summer Writing Retreat instructors will join other authors for readings and book signings and a whole lot of literary fun.

$299 WLT members / $359 nonmembers
