Annual Autumn Island Writers Retreat Oct. 1-2, 2011
"The President's Cottage" (map)
Reserve Now & Join Us the First Weekend in October! Our Annual Autumn Writers Retreat on Middle Bass Island is Saturday, October 1st and Sunday, October 2nd, 2011. The $125 retreat fee includes round-trip passenger tickets for the ferry boat, transportation to/from the Middle Bass docks, and overnight accommodations in a private cottage room, plus all meals, beverages, and planned group activities and "quiet time" at this unique weekend getaway. French explorers originally named Middle Bass Island the "Isle de Fleurs" because of its native floral landscape. Today, Middle Bass is sometimes confused with its noisier sister island South Bass, known to most tourists as Put-in-Bay. The historic Lonz Winery, although temporarily closed, remains one of MBI's most popular "Kodak moments" along with glacial grooves, the eagle's nest and Lake Erie sunsets. Middle Bass is referred to as "the quieter island" and is ideal for our annual autumn writing retreat. Bring your bicycle, camera, and good walking shoes. Reservations are limited, so in case this retreat fills up there will be a waiting list. Special requests and room preferences will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis.

Sorry to report that Sally won't be able to join us after all, because of a health problem. We wish her a speedy recovery.
If you've been thinking of coming to our annual autumn island retreat, there is now a spot that can be reserved.

ColetteWhat an amazing atmosphere. Loved the fellowship and meeting everyone. If I could have changed things it would have been 1) the weather (could not be helped obviously) and, 2) having more time just focused on writing and feedback/time alone to write

M. E. Betsy McMillanI had a great time at the Autumn Retreat. There were wonderful, stimulating conversations about what we are writing and how we deal with the ups and downs of our craft. I was inspired and feel as though I can come home and resume my creative endeavors with enthusiasm. Being in the company of other writers is always an uplifting experience. I recommend everyone try to attend a retreat such as this one. Steve is a great host, opening his wonderful victorian era home to fellow writers. All in attendance were gracious and thoughtful writers, willing to share what they know and what they are currently writing. The food was great, the wine was lovely, and in spite of the cold, windy, rainy weather, I had the best night's sleep I've had in weeks! I'm ready to head back to Middle Bass in May!

ErinGood food, good conversation though perhaps a bit too much, and completely relaxed weekend. We're already talking about making the next one in May.
