FAQs
Can my partner come with me?
Yes, of course! If your partner would like to join you at the resort, but not participate in the writing workshops and guest agent and author talks, then just select “Writing Warrior” accommodations and tell us in your message that your partner will be joining you. You will be charged an additional $100.00 fee so that your partner can enjoy breakfast and meet your friends at the Alumni Mingle. If you’re lucky enough to have a fellow alum as a partner, and your partner would like to join the writing workshops and guest agent and author talks, then select “Pen Pals” accommodations and tell us in your message that you have selected your roommate.
How many alumni can register?
We have reserved nineteen “Writing Warrior” rooms and three rooms for “Pen Pals” at the Mountain View Grand. We can adjust those rooms as needed to accommodate 25 alumni. We will have a waitlist, if needed.
Do I need to pay all at once?
You can securely pay in-full, through this website using any major credit card. We understand that this option is not for all, please e-mail me at megplaisted@gmail.com and we’ll work out a payment plan. Note that we do need your final payment before 1 February 2025, which is our deadline for Mountain View Grand.
Will there be a shuttle bus from the Manchester Airport?
Yes, we currently have reserved a 12-passenger van that will pick up and drop off at the Manchester Airport. There is only one shuttle time in each direction. Please plan your travel accordingly.
How do I sign up for a one-on-one discussion with Lauren Liebow?
We are really excited that Lauren is able to join our team! We will be creating her schedule when we get a little closer to the retreat. Please note that she will be asking you to send her 15 - 20 pages of your manuscript, general pitch and/or your query letter. She is flexible and understands that we are all at different stages of our writing journey.
