Melissa Febos Workshop Retreat a little slice of heaven..

All of us at Millay thank Melissa Febos for the amazing workshop she led at our humble campus...Personal Matters: Pushing the Boundaries of First-Person Nonfiction...May 28 to June 2...

One workshopper wrote: "This workshop was so much better than other experiences, but this was my first writer’s workshop.  I have attended numerous workshops and retreats in other areas like photography, painting, leadership, and museum studies, and this was by far one of the most satisfying. 
Melissa was awesome. So much better than I even expected."

Another happy participant wrote "The workshop was fabulous! I highly recommend Melissa Febos as an instructor and hope she'll come back to Millay again. I got a ton of writing done and went to some new, unexpected places with it, which is always great."


We hope she'll come back too. Something tells us she just might...
