Here's what some people are saying about Writing Away Retreats:
"It’s refreshing and inspirational as well as a priceless opp. to re-awaken your creative energies and bounce ideas off of other creative minds and spirits. Cicily is an amazing hostess who plans everything so well and so smoothly, we were able to maximize productivity with our manuscripts without realizing we were even doing so because we were having such a good time while we were doing it. Food was wonderful, and it created such an atmosphere of good spirits and camaraderie which lead to establish good feelings and lifelong relationships. Where else in your life can you get around a table with so many amazing minds in one place? I'd do this again in a heartbeat as a staff member and as a writer."

"I go to a lot of retreats and this was by far the best writer’s retreat I’ve ever attended. The writer’s were relaxed and everyone had free time to write. As an instructor, we were there to answer any questions and I spent up to two hours with them answering their concerns. I don’t think a lot of authors get that kind of time out of an editor and to be able to do that was just wonderful. The food was outstanding. I’ve never attended a conf. that had fresh food, freshly cooked every meal and served to perfection and it was by far the best food I’ve ever had."

"Writing Away Retreats is delicious in every way. Cicily Janus is not only an extraordinary writer but a gifted chef and her food is worth the price of admission alone. But by far the most delicious ingredients in the retreat are the amazingly talented writers. And with the writing staff she attracts, the bar has been set high. Writers were able to write copiously, get critiqued and supported by the writing staff, tell stories and laugh—and I had the pleasure of coaching each of them. To step into their writing lives and help them identify and eliminate roadblocks, create plans and set goals gave them a structure for their talent to be acknowledged and read. For me, it was a pleasure as delicious as Cicily's cooking."

"Writing Away Retreat was beyond a doubt, the most creative and inspiring thing I've ever done as a writer. I now have lasting friendships with incredible people. I've considered myself a "good" writer for a long time but having the opportunity to be critiqued (one of my favorite parts) by such talented and amazing people completely validated me and my life's ambition. Thank you for never making me feel like an amateur (because I haven't been published... yet). You have an amazing sense of what people mesh well together and I am honored to say that I was at the first of many, many retreats you will do. The scenery was gorgeous, the sit downs were so incredibly helpful, the food was extraordinary, and the creative energy that flowed through the house will remain unmatched I'm sure. I know that your retreat has spoiled me for any others I may attend that you aren't in charge of."

Just wanted to drop you a note to say hello, thinking of you and wishing you nothing but the best!
Sorry, it's been a while since I've been by... some freaky hacker has been "peepin' me page"... Seriously... the little hack keeps deleting "male authors"... thank goodness you've got boobies (as my six year old calls them).
Love ya.... Love what you do, who you are and what you stand for!
"A deep probing mystery riddled with prophecy and danger, Secret of the Sands uses Egypt and her mythology as a backdrop to delve into the meanings of life and religion." -McNally Robinson
For 12,000 years a dark and deadly secret has been hidden deep below the Great Sphinx of Giza. In present day Egypt, a frightening, yet awe-inspiring story unravels as archaeologists race against time to decipher an ancient truth...
Hello and best wishes for a Saturday full of nothing but great stuff!
The grass is turning green, flowers are popping out of the ground and the birds are back in town,singing their beautiful melodies. And... it's snowing!! Only in Nebraskeeeee! I love this town but snow looks better in the mountains....
There is nothing like a lodge, set deep into the mountain base surrounded by overgrown pines and decorated ski bunnies.......
Hello and thank you for the request! The lodge looks great, the authors available are remarkable and the invitation is inviting! I would love to make memories with you all but am not sure at this time what will be possible, so I must wait a couple of months before I make a reservation but oh.... do I want to join you! I am sure we would be sharing laughs, tears and tender moments!
