Upcoming Writing Retreats
A Weekend for Your Writing
November 13–15, 2026 | Online | $20 CAD
Three days. A little community. About six hours for your writing.
Join Erica Richmond of Open Sky Stories for a self-directed online writing retreat. Set your own writing goals, work on any project, and make time for your words with optional co-writing sessions, a Friday kick-off, and a Sunday celebration.
You don't need to finish a draft or reach a word count. This weekend is about giving your writing the time and attention it deserves.
