Imagine yourself on the upper level of Amtrak’s California Zephyr as she winds her way across the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range to Reno.

Let the crisp light and deep shadows of the day enhance your sense of adventure as they play hide and seek up and down the mountains, racing each other along the rivers and ravines just outside your window, inviting you to lose yourself in the magic of your own literary work in progress.

Write on the Rails

This retreat is so popular, we do it twice a year now–once before summer hits and once again before winter hits. The goal is success as you define it, and the schedule has proven its effectiveness time and again over the years. Join us to find out what 4 days away from the every day – writing in the company of other writers – can do for you, your muse, and your creative process. 

Newbies are required to meet with me on Zoom and check out at least two free To Live & Write activities before making a financial commitment to any of my retreats.
