Writer's Retreats - A dream in Italy

So, I have a grand idea based on the beautiful retreat hosted in Tuscany, Italy by Vanessa Carnevale and the folks at Wide Open Writing. I have resources that will allow me to design my own writing retreat, reach out to the right people, and establish an experience for others. I can't wait! This is my dream.

Also, The McDowell writing residency application is due on April 15th, so, I hope to apply this weekend. It will help to get this experience under my belt and also to get some uninterrupted work done.

Poets & Writers has some tips and insights into the best retreats and conferences as well as Booksparks.

Of course, there is important information about getting a passport to consider and also discovering if I need a Visa. Also, a company called Aer Lingus seems to have the cheapest flights.

Ciao Bellas.
