We are diligently working on planning our 2025 Writer’s Retreat! In the meantime, please scroll through last year’s information to get an understanding of what to expect at a Manor Mill Writer’s Retreat.

Treat yourself to a day dedicated to writing at historic Manor Mill in scenic northern Baltimore County.

Learn from expert authors about submittable markets, publishing options, crafting great scenes and characters—or simply opt for a quiet day of generative writing, all in a peaceful setting tucked between tall trees and a sparkling stream.

event details

DELIGHT IN WRITING runs from 9 until 3 pm—but you will be our guest for the day, so please feel free to stay, write, and enjoy talking with other writers until the Mill closes at 6pm.

Morning coffee, snacks and lunch are included in your registration. Spaces are limited so we recommend that you register early.

Please note that Manor Mill is currently limited in our accessibility. We are a historic building and do not have an elevator. Outdoor gravel paths lead to each level of the Mill, but as these paths are not smooth, they can pose difficulty for wheelchair users. Accessible bathrooms are on each level. For other accessibility questions, we strongly recommend that you contact the Mill before registering.

The first Writers' Retreat was a resounding success, bringing together creativity, inspiration, and community.
Heartfelt thanks to our incredible speakers for sharing their wisdom and to the dedicated volunteers whose efforts made every detail seamless. Your contributions turned this event into an unforgettable experience—thank you!
