Need a jump on Spring semester projects? Come to the January Writing Retreat at Willits, co-sponsored by Mount Holyoke College and the Five College Women's Studies Research Center: offerings include space to quietly work, workshops with Writing Coach Cathy Luna and UMass Press Editor Matt Becker, and a delicious lunch.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 2022

Participants are invited to register for either or both of the workshops; alternatively, there are spaces and opportunities for quiet writing time throughout the day.
