Work in Progress with Ellie O'Leary

Already working on something? This is for those writers who want to go on a retreat but are also working on an on-going project – something they don’t want to leave for the better part of a week or something they are looking forward to finally having some time set aside for serious work. We will meet each morning to discuss and set goals. The rest of the morning and as much of the afternoon as you like are available for your writing. Individual appointments for goal setting will be available.

Ellie O’Leary, Poet Laureate of Amesbury, Massachusetts, often writes about growing up in the village of Freedom, Maine.
