episode is made possible by Tenants Cove Riders. It's a new writersreat and Workshop that offers rustic and rural glamping

in a multi-generational family home on a 150-acre nature preserve up in New Brunswick, Canada.

It is happening this summer, August 7th through the 14th. The workshop will be led by Melissa Scholes Young, author of the novel

Hive, and Peter von Zagazar, author of the memoir, The Looking Glass Brother. These are critically

acclaimed authors who have run the gauntlet. On-site tuition plus room and board is $2,500, and

there are only four spots available.

This is a small retreat on a big piece of land, and participants can arrange a full manuscript

review for an additional fee.

For more information, go to Tenantscovewriters.com.

That's T-E-N-N-A-N-T-S-Covewriters.com. And join the retreat, sign up, go to Canada,

exist in nature, and make your manuscript a reality.
