Retreat gift certificates are available upon request! Treat someone special (like yourself) for Valentine’s Day! How do I register? CLICK HERE to be put on the waiting list Special Note: To get the most out of the retreat, we will limit enrollment. Tell me about attending as a Daytripper (no accommodations provided, $120 for the two day conference plus many extras): Our retreat location is tucked in the heart of Temecula’s Wine Country: The South Coast Winery Resort & Spa. It is the perfect setting to attend as a Day Tripper. You will be able to work on creating memorable characters and winning plots all against a scenic backdrop of rolling hills. Picture peaceful walks along a serene path through a tranquil vineyard during your conference breaks or lounging on the stone terrace surrounded by lush flowers and spring foliage. In the conference room you will be seated comfortably at a table with plenty of room to spread out and take notes. Each morning you will be greeted with a delightful continental breakfast and on Saturday night you are invited to join our editors for our Saturday Night Fright Workshop with Q. L. Pearce. She will guide you into putting the mystery and shivers into your writing. All conference opportunities will be available to you as well including; roundtable critiques, first pages, manuscript critiques, manuscript contest, lunch or dessert with the editors and the Friday Night VIP Reception. Some of these extras may require an additional fee. Join us for the Friday Night VIP Reception (no host bar), $12.50 per person. All conference attendees (including Day Trippers) are invited to meet with our editors and authors in the beautiful wine tasting room. Please note if you are staying at the Villa with a guest, your guest is welcome as well. ** Please note: continental breakfast(s), snacks and drinks only will be provided. Our current block of Villas are sold out
for the retreat but you may book a villa directly with the Winery Resort
