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!”

- Sandra A., St. Petersburg, FL

 

“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."

- Mariamne S., Haverhill, MA
