Storied North writer’s retreat open for registration

The Storied North Writer’s Retreat is an opportunity for writers to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life so they can focus on writing in a uplifting, edifying environment.

Located at The Hive in Leskard, Ontario (one hour from downtown Toronto), this 3-day event includes writing workshops, one-on-one coaching, writing blocks, and ample down time to rejuvenate in a country environment with a plenty of fresh air and room to roam.

At this time, the program is geared towards writers of children’s literature, but the skills you will learn and the time you will have to write transcend audience and genre. Author/illustrators will also benefit from time at Storied North.

The host of Storied North is Jes Trudel. She spent 15 years as a freelance writer, editor, and storytelling instructor prior to becoming a literary agent with The Rights Factory. She has taught workshops to thousands of people around the world and has been a guest presenter with SCBWI, the 12×12 Picture Book Challenge, Write4Kids.org, and TSNOTYAW podcast. She’s also contributed to various outlets including BoldFace, Children’s Book Insider, and the SCBWI blog. She founded WritingCommunity.ca and organizes other writing-adjacent events such as Indie Author Book Expo North.

The cost to register is $599 CAD plus hst. The registration fee covers lodging, workshops, and coaching sessions, a value of more than $1000 per person.
