MWW Fellows

MWW Writers Retreat Fellows

For seven years, Midwest Writers Workshop sponsored a Writers Retreat at Pokagon State Park in Northern Indiana, usually the first weekend in May.  Attracting hundreds of submissions from as far away as Florida, Michigan, Missouri and North Carolina, the Writers Retreat awarded MWW Fellowships to nine emerging novelists. The two-day session featured critiques, one-on-one consultations and discussions related to marketing saleable manuscripts. The Writers Retreat was supported by a grant from the Ball Brothers Foundation.
