New Writers Weekends at Colonyhouse

November 20, 2013 By Becky Kjelstrom

OWC is now offering a limited number of Writers Weekends at Colonyhouse for a special low price. Like Writers Weeks, you’ll share the house with three other writers: each of you will have your own bedroom and share the rest of the house (living room, kitchen, two bathrooms, and ocean-view enclosed porch.) Rules of the house for these weekends are the same as for Writers Weeks: silence unless conversation or discussion is agreed upon by all occupants.  Cost per person for these special weekends (4:00 p.m. Friday through Sunday) is $100. Spots will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis. Each writer must be an OWC member.

Weekends available in 2013:

Nov. 15-17

Dec. 13-15

To request a Writers Weekend, email Marlene Howard.  Put SPECIAL WRITERS WEEKEND RESERVATION REQUEST in the subject line. After confirmation you will receive registration and payment instructions.

 

Writers Weeks are still available for 2013. Cost is $125 for   Monday morning through 2:00 p.m. Friday. Spots are assigned on a first-come first-served basis. Each writer must be an OWC member. To request a Writers Week, email Marlene Howard, for specific reservation dates.
