Ink & Paper Writers provides affordable, accessible events for writers of fiction. We strive to fill a gap in the plains states and provide alternatives to a long, expensive writing retreat requiring significant travel. Our retreats are open to all writers, regardless of experience or publishing status, and regardless of genre or age-range. We aim to uplift regional authors and provide an inclusive experience where all feel welcome.

 

Our Mission

Ink & Paper Writers will provide an inviting and energetic retreat experience for all writers of fiction. We will give writers the opportunity to dedicate time and space to their work, find inspiration and craft knowledge from successful authors and the chance to interact with them, and to connect with other writers in a meaningful way.


I founded Ink & Paper Writers to create the retreats I wanted to attend close to home.
