People who keep saying "I'm going to write a book" will have an opportunity to get started, or move their manuscript forward, during a Life Writing Weekend retreat June 6-June 9 at the Mavis Manor Bed & Breakfast in Flat Top, West Virginia.
The Weekend Retreat will be led by John Patrick Grace, Director of the Huntington-based not-for-profit Publishers Place, Inc.

Thirteen books have thus far been published by alumni of this class, including the national award-winning historical novel Father's Troubles by Carter Taylor Seaton.
Another alumna of the class, Justine Rutherford, was named 2005 West Virginia Author of the Year by Tamarack, the showcase of West Virginia crafts, located in Beckley. Rutherford has written and published two books created from her work in the class, Rough Lumber and Wild Mustard, both memoirs.
Space is limited for the weekend, which will cost $425 per person, based upon double occupancy. Fee includes a full weekend of exercises to prep a book concept, outline, and drafts of material, two nights lodging, wine and cheese reception on Friday, two breakfasts and two lunches.
