NEW HAMPSHIRE MEMOIR RETREAT WEEKEND
.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Memoir Retreat. Joyce's teaching style is informative and entertaining. She makes learning fun! And, she has a way of bringing the attendees together where the sharing and camaraderie form strong connections within the group. I felt like I showed up as a stranger and left with 22 new best friends!”

“Joyce is so passionate about helping writers become better writers and she’s so generous with her time (energizer bunny), I left Monday afternoon feeling filled to the brim (& exhausted!). I learned so much from Joyce and from the attendees, too.”
- Rebecca V., Chicago, IL
“Joyce is THE BEST! I learned so much from her! She is one of my favorite authors, of course. I also truly enjoyed the smaller group at her home. I LOVED being in her home.
The conference center is LOVELY! Very relaxing and perfect for writing, walking and reflection! Friendly, helpful staff.”

· Joyce is a masterful teacher.
· She is a human magnet for powerful women.
· The format was a perfect blend of learning, work, gal-pal engagement, nature, and self-enlightenment.
· As much as I felt reluctant to leave on Sunday, I was equally excited to get home to use the tools I learned to start writing again.
· My writing and confidence in myself as a writer was resuscitated thanks to Joyce’s tutelage.
· Joyce Maynard is a born teacher - but even more, Joyce Maynard is a writer’s friend.
- Martha R., Danbury, CT
"I would wholeheartedly recommend Joyce's workshops to anyone interested in exploring the art of memoir writing.
Initially, I was apprehensive, but Joyce quickly fostered a welcoming atmosphere that put the entire group at ease. I found that Joyce's clear and direct explanations of the writing process, along with concrete examples, have proven invaluable. Her methodology channels creative energy into a structured process that enhances the overall story and reader connection. The suggestions and ideas that she brought up have opened my eyes to new possibilities.
Thank you for a retreat that was rich in writing craft, stories and women. All worth experiencing and taking home with me."
