NCWN member, Katherine Scott Crawford, announces MountainTop Writers Retreats, Lake Toxaway, NC for writers

NCWN member Katherine Scott Crawford announces a new creative venture,

MountainTop Writers Retreats, which will be hosted at Earthshine Lodge in Lake Toxaway, N.C. 

Her first retreat, a pure writer's retreat called Fall Mountain Top, will be held November 8-11, 2019. Though there will be coed retreats in the future, Fall MountainTop is for women writers only. There's a discount for those who register by Sept. 30, 2019. 

MountainTop Writers Retreat is a long-weekend retreat crafted to suit writers and creatives at varying stages in their careers and journeys. Hosted at Earthshine Lodge in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Fall MountainTop was created with one goal in mind: to give writers space and time in which to write. But perhaps more importantly: to offer the opportunity to create in a place of peace and seclusion — in a natural, awe-inspiring setting.A pure retreat, Fall MountainTop is for women writers simply in need of quiet and time. Perfect for authors on deadline, or other writers who are working on new or continuing projects. Though we will share communal spaces in the Lodge, some meals, and the outdoor campfire, any and all time spent with other writers is by choice.
