Faculty Lectures and Individual Instruction

The Salt Cay Writers Retreat offers group and individual instruction from #1 New York Times bestselling authors, top acquisition editors from major trade publishing houses, and prominent literary agents (most from the same agency, to encourage cooperation and a focus on craft) who will work with you to help you take your manuscript to new heights of accomplishment.

With 10 instructors and 65 registrants, the retreat fosters an intimate, encouraging atmosphere that focuses on craft in the context of the publishing environment for writers who are serious about their careers.
