SUMMARY:Troublesome Creek Writers Retreat – Annette Clapsaddle
DESCRIPTION:Troublesome Creek Writers’ Retreats offer a fun and relaxing weekend on the Hindman Settlement School campus during one of our most beautiful seasons. Facilitated by accomplished writers and authors, these retreats are kept small–between 15-20 participants–so that attendees can write in community, without the demands of a structured workshop, but still with the opportunity to participate in facilitated discussions and sessions. Here is an opportunity to write, read, and fellowship, away from the hustle of everyday life.\nThe retreat begins on the evening of Friday, October 30 and concludes at your leisure on Sunday, November 1. Registration fee includes lodging in one of our on-campus cottages (double-occupancy) and three meals (dinner on Friday and lunch/dinner on Saturday).\n \nAbout the Instructor\nAnnette Saunooke Clapsaddle, a graduate of Yale University and the College of William & Mary, is the author of Even As We Breathe, the first novel published by an enrolled citizen of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The novel was named one of NPR’s Best Books of 2020, was a finalist for the Weatherford Award, and won the 2021 Thomas Wolfe Memorial Literary Award.\nHer manuscript, Going to Water, won the Morning Star Award for Creative Writing from the Native American Literature Symposium and was a finalist for the PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction. Clapsaddle’s work has appeared in The Atlantic, Salvation South, Bon Appétit, and Travel + Leisure, as well as in anthologies including What Things Cost: An Anthology for the People, Troublesome Rising: A Thousand Year Flood in Eastern Kentucky, and The Devil’s Done Come Back: New Ghost Tales from North Carolina.\nIn partnership with the Museum of the Cherokee People, Clapsaddle founded Confluence: An Indigenous Writers’ Workshop Series, which brings Indigenous authors to the Qualla Boundary to mentor emerging writers. She serves on the Museum’s Board of Directors and is an editor for the University Press of Kentucky’s Appalachian Futures series.\n \nREGISTER NOW!\n
