Great list! I'm always looking for new retreats. I did a post on retreats a while back (a bit less comprehensive) with some more focus on international and Sci-Fi/Fantasy. Here is the link if you'd like to share and I will add this to my mine! https://open.substack.com/pub/sarenastraus/p/retreat?r=2sxfnx&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false. I was at NorCal with Alyssa last year and it was phenomenal. I will definitely return. And I also did the TSNTYAW Virtual Retreat in its first year. I thought that it was a particularly practical retreat and appreciated that they provided content that's valuable to writers at all levels and career stages.
What a great roundup, Beth! There are a few on here that have been on my radar and some new ones I didn’t know about. Now I need a bag of money and more time so I can attend them all! 😂 Thank you for including me!!
Thanks so much for including my testimonial, Beth! I can't say enough good things about the Northern California Writers' Retreat.
I'm also a panelist at this year's SF Writers Conference and can vouch for the event as a previous attendee, so I highly recommend it to all Bay Area writers!
I had a hotel booked for AWP in LA this year then had to cancel it because flights were ridiculous 😭. Thanks for rounding these up — I’m going to look through them all! 🫶🏽

Thank you, Sarena! Just read and shared your great list!
Thanks! I'm eying all those retreats in warm climates right about now!

Thanks for chiming in on that!! SF looks really great....I hope you have the best time presenting!💕
Okay but what if I want to do ALL OF THEM?!

Bummer I'm sorry you had to cancel. :( Would be so fun to see you at one of these someday!💕
I know! Are you going to AWP?!
I'm not this year but would love to someday!
This was great and so informative, thanks for doing the work, Beth! And you know I’m in category #2!
I did think of you when I was working on this! I want all your retreat dreams to come true!✨️
Love this idea, Beth. Very thoughtful and thorough. I especially love the variety, like including Wild Words!
And of course the only one near me is thriller fest, which I not only don’t write, but don’t read. Ha!
Thanks Meredith!💕
Such a great lineup, and I loved the added, personal touch of real testimonies!
Thanks friend! 💕
Thanks for including me, Beth! Another amazing part of WFWA was meeting you IRL ❤️
Back at you friend!😘
