Is the Weekend on the Water a novel revision workshop or a voice workshop. I have a manuscript that needs help, but not in the voice department.
April, the Weekend on the Water is a conference focused on Voice. The next Novel Revision Retreat is in February in Illinois. But I’m always glad to talk to people about hosting a retreat in your region!
