Put It On the Page

For a full description of the vision and purpose behind Put It On The Page, scroll up a bit to watch our video and browse the retreat pamphlet.

Put It On The Page is for Black women writers of all types and all levels of experience. Our program is designed to offer inspiration, community, and dedicated writing time for writers with publishing credits and/or active works in progress, but we also welcome participants who are newly exploring writing as an outlet. Each person’s unique background makes the retreat experience more vibrant! 

Four days and three nights, beginning Thursday afternoon and continuing into Sunday afternoon.

 Put It On The Page combines three components:

1. Find Inspiration in the Black American experience through visits to Montgomery’s nationally-recognized historical sites
2. Find Community in group discussions, writing workshops, and author circles with your retreat cohort and special guest speakers.
3. Find Your Voice during solo time set aside for you to reflect, read, and write – with a chance to share your work during the program’s closing brunch. 

In the historic city of Montgomery, Alabama

We aim for each cohort to include 5-15 people. You are welcome to apply alone or as part of a small group.

The Full Package includes lodging in Montgomery’s Garden District, retreat programming and materials, and most meals. Before discounts and financial assistance, full package prices start at $1200 per person, depending on occupancy.

The Program-Only Package, at $XXXX per person, includes retreat programming with limited meals and no lodging. The Full Package offers the most immersive retreat experience, but we also offer the Program-Only option for participants who live locally or wish to arrange their own lodging. 

Yes! We are currently offering a Launch Discount of  15% off all  retreat package prices.

Through the support of our sponsors, we also offer limited financial aid for retreat participants who need assistance covering the cost. Indicate on your application form if you would like to be considered for financial aid.
