Salmon River Writing Retreat Description:
William deBuys, Pulitzer finalist and an undisputed master the craft of non-fiction, will lead this remarkable 6-day writing workshop on the Main Salmon River, through the heart of Idaho’s Frank Church Wilderness.This 90-mile wilderness river trip boasts big sandy beaches, exciting rapids, charismatic big horn sheep, Native American pictographs, and natural hot springs. The writing workshop is uniquely versatile. Our emphasis will be the discovery and review of literary elements that writers can put to use, irrespective of subject matter. Established and emerging writers of all genres are encouraged to apply, though deBuys will focus primarily on non-fiction work. Journalists, university writing students, science writers, creative writers, and environmental writers will certainly find this workshop valuable. There is no prerequisite of publication or formal writing education. University students may earn 2 undergraduate or graduate credits for the course!
