Retreat from Harsh Reality

2027

The Michigan Romance Writer’s 2027 Retreat From Harsh Reality will be April 23-25 at the beautiful Kellogg Manor House, summer home of cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg in Hickory Corners, MI. Built in 1926, it was originally called Eagle Heights and faces the calm, blue waters of Gull Lake. What a perfect site for us to get back to our writing retreat origins. The weekend will be planned with the main focus on writing, and a smidgeon of learning and socializing with other writers. Please bookmark this page to follow as specific details develop.

On Saturday night we enjoy a nice dinner and dessert, afterwards we have a member recognition presentation (see video slide show above), we also give out a first book plaque if we have anyone in the group who qualifies. And finally we announce the newest Angel Award for Service to the group. The 2025 recipient is Brynn Paulin.


Presented by the 2024 Angel, Patty Gordon. Brynn was unable to attend so we sent her a message to let her know and she will receive her certificate and angel pin at next month’s meeting.
