Jan. 17-20 at the Seaview Hotel
The Winter Poetry & Prose Getaway is a three-day conference where educators hone their creative writing skills and expand their teaching strategies. Held at Seaview Hotel near Atlantic City, Jan. 17-20, it is presented by Murphy Writing of Stockton University. The conference was founded by NJEA/NJREA member and author Peter E. Murphy, who believes that when writers leave behind the distractions of their busy lives to gather in an encouraging community, they can make important breakthroughs in their art.
Beginner and experienced writers may choose from workshops in fiction, memoir, nonfiction, poetry, songwriting, storytelling and more. Participants will receive craft discussion, writing prompts, writing time, feedback, motivation and inspiration. Enjoy challenging and supportive workshops, insightful feedback and an encouraging community.
