From June 22 to June 27, 2008 Billy Mernit and I will be conducting a writing retreat in Twin Bridges, Montana at Rockpoint Ranch – 2,000 acres of pasture, cows, river, trees and solitude.  Billy will be teaching a workshop on “Character and Plot for Fiction and Film”, and I’ll be teaching “Writing Your Life Into Story: Memoir and the Personal Essay”. Each workshop is limited to ten students and will be held Monday through Friday morning with afternoons devoted to your writing and one-on-ones with me or Billy. Lunches and dinners are included in the cost of $850.00. If you’re interested (or just curious) please email me at b.abercrombie@verizon.net and I’ll be happy to send you a flyer with more information.
