WriteHive Lite Retreat
WriteHive Lite is a FREE, virtual writing retreat held annually in October. During the two-day event, attendees have the opportunity to connect with other writers, hone their craft, and receive feedback from professional editors. It’s also perfect for writers who need a set time to sit and focus on writing or revising. You do not need a finished manuscript to apply! Writers are welcome no matter where they are in the process.
