Midwest Physicians Writers Workshop Registration

The Midwest Physician Writers Retreat is a national creative writing conference for physicians and medical trainees that will be hosted for the second year at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

This weekend retreat is designed as intentionally structured time for self-reflection, community building, and creative writing. The weekend will include guided writing sessions, advice about publishing creative work, structured time to write, and opportunities to workshop and present your writing in a public forum.

Friday afternoon and Sunday morning will be hosted at the beautiful Olbrich Botanical Gardens. Friday evening we will have a welcome reception at Lake City Books. Saturday will take place at the Pyle Center with views of Lake Mendota. Saturday evening we are hosting a Story Slam. Sunday will feature time to workshop your writing and end with an open mic celebration of your work.
