Mark your calendars now for the Writing Academy's Writer's Weekend 2008, to be held at the beautiful Mt. Olivet Retreat Center, just south of Minneapolis. 2008 marks our 30th Anniversary and the unveiling of our new book, Daily Devotions for Writers. We have a lot to celebrate.

TRACK ONE: If you want to soak up all the info you can, if you enjoy extra time for fun and fellowship with other writers, then consider Track One: a full seminar that runs from Thursday night (July 31st) through Monday noon (August 4th). You can even come a day early (Wednesday, July 30th, for a personal writing retreat before the seminar begins.

TRACK TWO: If you're busy with work and family and it's hard to get away for the full seminar, then consider Track Two--the faster paced middle of the full conference. Track two runs from Friday night through Sunday afternoon. It's the meat of the sandwich!

No matter which track you choose, you'll learn more about writing and getting published. You'll be able to choose classes to custom fit your seminar experience. And you can participate in our worship, our sharing, and our fellowship times.

Don't keep your writing dream on the back burner any longer. Let 2008 be the year you do something about it. We'd be delighted to have you join us at Writer's Weekend, 2008.
