March Ahead Retreat [Virtual]

March Ahead Retreat [Virtual]

Friday, March 27, 2026

8:30am to 6:00pm

Virtual

**Choose to attend either Friday, March 27 (online) or Saturday, March 28 (in person). We'll be in Orem, Utah. Classes are the same for both days.**


This year we're doing something different. We're looking at smaller publishing houses, and what they can do for us as writers. Sometimes we think only the big houses can help us reach our publishing goals. But smaller houses offer individual care and excellent editing. We've invited five editors/publishers from several different houses to speak to us. The goal is for them to teach what their house wants to publish. They'll teach us how to hit the publishing mark.

Some of these houses do fiction, some do nonfiction. Some are new. All of them want to publish excellent books.


At the end of the day, we'll break up into small critique groups and work on what we've just learned. 


Guests:

Lindsay Flanagan

Topic: "Roan and Weatherford Publishing: Untraditionally Traditional"


Ryan Van Cleave 

Editorial Director at Bushel & Peck Books


Jennifer Adams

AND MORE!

Speakers from several small houses excited to teach you about what they're searching for in the world of publishing.
