About UsbyAntoinette May |

The Gold Rush Writers Retreat was founded in 2005 by a dedicated group of
writers who rendezvoused regularly in Mokelumne Hill. All of us were
charmed and stimulated by the tiny village said to have once been the
"biggest, baddest town" in the Mother Lode. Argonauts had struck pay dirt
here and soon it seemed that we were as well.
Our goal is to share the wealth. By bringing together writers and poets for workshops, lectures, panels and readings, it is hoped that all will "strike it rich." The retreat is a non-profit venture, made possible by Poets & Writers, Inc. through a grant received from The James Irvine Foundation. We are also sponsored by the Mokelumne Hill Trust, Calaveras County Arts, and the Mokelumne Hill Library Our combined efforts enable writers on all levels to receive insight on their work from established professionals . Opportunities abound for networking and the establishment of working communities with other like-minded artists. It's a "golden" opportunity. Come see for yourself.
