Here is what some of our 2009 participants had to say about the Provence Writers Retreat 2009:
“Incorporating walks, history, food and artists gave me the feel of Provence and much to process into my writing. Thank you both for giving me something that will last my lifetime” Pat, scientist, 2009 PWR participant
“Georgeanne’s and Joanne’s guidance and enthusiasm are contagious!”
“The few days we have had together have increased my confidence. I have learned that writing doesn’t have to be painful and can actually increase the use of all the senses for observation.”
“The retreat was so much more than I could have imagined.”
“…For me, a book was a fantasy. Now I have direction and, more important, for someone who puts writing off, I am looking forward to doing it!”
Mary Beth, olive oil expert, blogger, business manager, 2009 PWR participant
“The balance of workshops and free writing time worked perfectly for me.”
“The retreat exceeded my expectations” Ann, 2009 PWR participant
“Really, truly, it was a wonderful week and so many thanks to you both and to all who participated. I hope we will keep in touch.” Shoshanna, Aix en Provence, freelance writer and editor, 2009 PWR participant
“The pace and timing were terrific. My notes and the guidance provided will serve as references as I advance my project.” Carole, Annapolis, MD. 2009, retired public health administrator, 2009 participant working on a family memoir
“I had no idea what to expect, but it all was perfect! I’d do it again.” Ann, Laguna, 2009 PWR participant
