Open to traditionally published authors and illustrators, the Acadia Retreat will be held October 23-27, 2025 at the Schoodic Institute in Acadia National Park in Maine. Amidst the beauty of the park and Maine's rugged coastline, attendees will gather new tools and perspectives on writing and illustrating, gain insight into effective marketing, and have the opportunity to promote published titles to young readers. Come for the landscape and the kidlit community! Our stellar faculty for this year’s retreat are: Samara Cole Doyon (Author), Andie Krawczyk (Sales & Marketing Director, NorthSouth Books), and Kristen Nobles (Art Director, Charlesbridge Publishing). In addition to faculty presentations, working time, play time, plus optional portfolio critiques and marketing consultations, on October 26th we will host the second annual Foggy River Children's Book Festival to celebrate our books and each other out in the community!
