Register in 2 easy steps today!

This January 31-February 1, 2026, join us for a weekend of invention, creation, revision, and workshop at the Oxbow Hotel in beautiful downtown Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Lodging, instruction, Saturday lunch, Sunday breakfast, coffee, tea, and snacks included.  Open to all writers of all levels.  

Our writer-in-residence, Maggie Ginsberg, will lead participants through writing exercises and be available for brief, individual conferences with all attendees. We’ll write all Saturday in anticipation for our evening reading in the Oxbow Gallery. No need to bring any previously written work! Just come with your paper, pen, laptop (though it’s less alliterative…) and passion.
