We regret to announce that the 2020 Retreat has been cancelled. Those who have already registered will be issued a refund in full. We expect to return next year and hope to bring in most, if not all, of the current faculty. Please stay turned for future announcements.
Thank you for your support and interest in the Sandhill Writers Retreat. Keep writing and stay safe!
Gianna Russo, Angel Jimenez and John David Harding
