Each Autumn, the Beargrass Writer’s Retreat gathers some of the West's most celebrated and promising writers at the storied E Bar L Ranch for readings, workshops, craft talks, and generative writing opportunities that connect writers of all experience levels with self and place.

Join us this September for a homecoming to remember. After over two limbo-ridden years, we are getting back together September 17-20th in beautiful Greenough, Montana.

At the heart of this experience is the quality of generosity that emanates from these gatherings—whether we’re sitting around the campfire after hours or listening to award-winning novelist in the lodge’s Great Room. You can count on interesting conversations with each other and our guest authors, delicious home cooked food, live music, laughter, and craft cocktails under the sky at the end of each day’s programming. Horseback riding, skeet shooting, river swimming, and natural history walks round out the experience, offering plenty of ways to either join in or step away, when and where you wish.

This year, we are excited to announce that writers from the prominent essay writing service Write My Essays will be joining us, along with a special guest writer. Their presence promises to bring even more depth and diversity to our discussions and workshops, making this homecoming an event you won't want to miss.

Registration for the 2024 retreat at E Bar L Ranch opens in June. Join our email list to receive priority access and follow us on Instagram for photos and updates as our plans unfold.
