Whispering Pines
SCBWI Writer’s Retreat Friday Schedule
Check-in for weekend participants is between 2:00--5:00 on Friday.
We will have a cocktail hour at 5:00 in the Whispering Pines building (large, gray building with deck on the water). This is a cash bar. Appetizers will be served.
We will then have dinner at 6:00 in the same location. Immediately after dinner (approx 7:30) we'll enjoy a first pages activity and Q&A session with our mentors. Again, this is in the same location. This wraps up about 9:00-9:30
