Due to the popularity of the Annual WRITERS CONFERENCE, Generations Gallery is announcing a series of WRITERS RETREATS at The Historic Village at Indian Springs in Flovilla, GA.
Dr. Anne B. Jones, PhD, will present a two-day creative writing workshop: "Tools for Successful Writing" at four different times this year: June 4-5, August 13-14, October 15-16, and a special workshop on December 3-4th when the Historic Village Resort is alive with Holiday Lights.
The $150 college-level learning experience is designed to help emerging writers recognize their writing identity, find their voice, define their goals, and develop their writing potential. The Village provides a perfect setting for writers to get away to a nurturing environment, where they can be with nature and relax in a setting that removes them from the distractions of their busy lives. Vintage cottages are available right behind Generations Gallery. Luxury linens and jacuzzi spa baths await visitors in five beautifully restored cottages ( Holloway Rental Cottages are $139 - 159 a night. Call 770-775-5350 for reservations. The workshop participants can camp or find RV facilities in the Indian Springs State Park, if they prefer.)
The Workshop is limited to 6-10 people and includes a one-on-one critique of their work and meals. The participants are invited to stay over to attend the Free Writers Group at Generations
Gallery.This group meets from 1:00- 4:00 pm. Held every Saturday with Patsy Clark, a writing instructor from Forsyth, this group frequently includes local authors and illustrators.

Four Writers Retreats Planned for 2009 at Indian Springs
Energized by the well-attended WRITERS CONFERENCE this weekend, Generations Gallery announces that local author, Dr. Anne B. Jones, Blackwater Rising, will host a series of four WRITER'S RETREATS this year at the Gallery. Based on her newest book, TOOLS for SUCCESSFUL WRITING, the workshops will provide hands-on skill development with one-on-one critiques.
The sessions will be held on Thursday and Friday, with attendees encouraged to stay over for the free Writers Group that meets every Saturday at the Gallery from 1-4 pm. Dates are scheduled for June 4-5, August13-14, October 15-16 and December 3-4 when the Village is alive with Christmas Lights. Attendees will be encouraged to stay in the Vintage Cottages behind the Gallery. Workrooms will be made available to the guests during their stay so they can write and do artwork while in the Village. Call the Gallery at 800-352-7212 for details and costs on the various packages. Registration will be limited to 6-10 participants per session.
The Village at Indian Springs buzzed with excitement this weekend as aspiring writers came from as far away as the San Francisco Bay Area to hear published authors, editors and publishers share the secrets of not just writing a book, but how to get their work published and marketed as well. Dr Anne B. Jones presented Southern Fiction Writers, Jackie L. Miles, Walter Sorrells, and Jackie Weldon White.
The keynote speaker was Rosemary Daniell, whose book, The Secrets of Zona Rosa, has encouraged many women to change their lives through writing.
Peter Bowerman, author of The Well-Fed Writer series, outlined how to make money by writing non-fiction work for marketing agencies and magazines. Suzanne Lawler, WMAZ-TV Macon, shared how she collected stories for her work about places to see and eat in Middle Georgia, Cotton, Cornbread,and Conversations. Most of these authors' books are available at the Gallery.
A highlight of the seminar was the interactive session called SHIMMER. The audience was introduced to the cadence of vowels sounds and the importance of sentence structure by editor, Bev Browning. Together the group wrote a story about eating chocolate, but used no words at all.
The ladies that own and operate the Gallery – Andi Kulp, Kathy Socha, Nancy Cook, Sharon Fox and Tanya Cone – hope to see the Village continue to build into a creative mecca. The historic venue, developed by Frankie Willis, provides an ideal environment to celebrate art, history and nature. The consignment gallery displays and sells many works by local artists. More programs are planned this summer to add to the free art workshops for kids; the writers groups that meet on Saturdays; the music events; and the outdoor market activities. The Gallery and the shops in the Village will be open Thursday and Friday afternoons 1-5pm; Saturdays from 10 am -5 pm and Sunday from 1-5 pm. Big Chief Country Store is open 7 am – 7 pm every day; Pinky's Cafe' is serving lunch 11 am – 2 pm.
