Need I Say More Retreats

From LiteracyTentWiki

In the late 1980's and early 1990's the Publishing for Literacy  project, sponsored by the Adult Literacy Resource Institute in Boston and the Public Library of Brookline, Massachusetts, and inspired by community new writers' retreats in England, held a number of annual adult new writers retreats. Organized by project director, James E. Roberts (Kona Khasu), students in community-based programs who were learning to write as adults, left home for the weekend, and went to a farm in western Massachusetts or to an island in the Boston harbor where they wrote, listened to professional writers and shared their writings with each other. Writings from some of these retreats found their way to publication in Need I Say More, a literary journal published by the project. Copies of Need I Say More, are available from the SABES Library at http://sabes.org/resources/index.htm For more information contact SABES Librarian, Sandra Darling. See Jane Mace for the origins of the writers' retreats in England.
