Writers At the Castle.
If you ever wanted to try your hand at humour, or learn how others do it (or don’t do it), I’ll be holding the first writers worskhop retreat at Clonmel Castle in Port Dover, Ontario (north side of Lake Erie) from Nov 20–24 (5 days, 4 nights). Check it out:
Clonmel Castle is a beautiful 90-year-old Georgian Revival estate, located minutes outside of Port Dover. It has 9 private rooms or 18 shared bedrooms (each bedroom has a minimum of two beds). Two of the suites have their own bathrooms, two others share one bathroom. Talk to our wonderful host (and owner) Lynneee Steffler about what accommodation suits you best.
Clonmel is a writer’s dream (notice I didn’t say wet), wrapped in history, filled with nooks and crannies both inside and out. Each day, we’ll meet in the dining room after breakfast (3 gourmet meals are served each day, including vegan options), and discuss humour at a ridiculously long table. Afternoons will be spent writing in whatever room suits you best (there’s even a bedroom in the wall safe). Take a look at some of the places where you can write:
If you noticed a little dog in the second picture, that’s Tux, he’s a regular. So’s the staff. Any time you want to bounce some humour off them—or Tux—feel free. Tux has a great sense of humour. So does Lynneee (gets it from Tux).
