This event sells out every time we offer it, so please register early. .
No speakers, no programs, just time to write or draw surrounded by the beautiful scenery of West Marin, plus informal evening readings and critiques.
Green Gulch Farm is part of the San Francisco Zen Center. The farm is located off of Highway 1 north of the Golden Gate Bridge, in a valley that opens out onto the Pacific Ocean. The accommodations for the retreat are at the Lindisfarne Guest House. The Guest House is a distinctive octagonal building with twelve rooms on two floors surrounding a 30-foot skylit atrium. The atrium provides a relaxing skylit sitting area where guests often gather to read or sit with a cup of tea by the fire. The building is constructed in a traditional Japanese style and heated with a central wood-burning stove and passive solar system. The guest rooms are simply, yet comfortably furnished, with large windows opening onto landscaped grounds. Each pair of rooms shares a bathroom and there is a centrally located shower. Snacks are always available in the guest house kitchen.
Vegetarian meals are included in the price of the retreat.
Single rooms, including meals, are $279.
Optional Sunday night is $100.
Registration is now open.

Manuscript Critiques
Once you've signed up for a critique, instructions for sending in your manuscript will be emailed to you.
The deadline to register for a critique is Sept 1. The manuscript must be postmarked by Sept. 15th.
The standard manuscript critique guidelines will be followed: 12 point type serif font, double-spaced, 1 inch margins, printed on one side of the paper. The full manuscript, up to 10 pages of a picture book or early reader, or to 20 pages of a longer work, may be submitted.
PLEASE do not send in illustrations. The critique is for text only. Manuscripts which contain illustrations will not be reviewed and the fee will not be refunded.
You may request which speaker you prefer to critique your manuscript, but we cannot ensure that your submission will be sent to that person.
You must be registered for either the main session or the picture book session in order to receive a critique.
