The Second Mumbai Writers Retreat
Dates: 14-18 February 2011

Join our week-long conference in Mumbai, Feb. 14-18. 2011. Do your most authentic work with New York Times bestselling author and literary agent. Writers of nonfiction, fiction, plays, and screenplays gather to develop their stories and fine tune their craft.

Develop your book, fine tune your manuscript, and perfect your writing in progress. Writers of all levels attend to generate new material, develop ideas, or perfect works in progress.

This acclaimed writers workshop has been held across Europe, India, Asia, the U.K. and the U.S., originally inspired by Wendy Goldman Rohm's Masters Teas at Yale University.

Participating writers are guided through the creation process, fine tuning and perfecting their manuscripts--from the seed of an idea to a high-quality draft.

The Retreat includes the five-day conference sessions (see Schedule), and an optional group dinner and cocktail reception / networking soiree every evening.

Wendy Goldman Rohm, New York Times bestselling author and literary agent, has taught and lectured for MediaBistro, Yale University, onboard the QEII, and numerous universities and organizations in the US, Europe and Asia.
