Writer’s Workshop Weekend at the Astor House August 20-22nd!
Have you always dreamed of writing a book and getting it published? This weekend was planned with you in mind!
This is an amazing opportunity for budding authors to spend time with published author, Lorelei Savaryn! Lorelei is the author of THE CIRCUS OF STOLEN DREAMS, which released by world publishing giant, Penguin Random House, in 2020. Her second novel, THE EDGE OF IN BETWEEN, a magical Secret Garden retelling, comes out in Spring 2022. She is also currently working on a third novel through Penguin, set to release in 2023.
Here’s what’s in store for this motivational and inspirational weekend for writers:
- Writers will arrive at the beautiful Astor House between 4 pm to 6 pm on Friday, August 20th. They’ll settle in for a two-night stay and enjoy a literary-themed gift basket to start the weekend out right. Friday evening is free for writing time, exploring the town, or relaxation.
- Writers can send the first chapter of their work and their query to Lorelei prior to the retreat and will receive a 30-minute individual writing critique session and discussion with Lorelei on Saturday morning.
- Writers will also enjoy a 45-minute Introduction to Publishing session and a 45-minute Plotting 101 session with Lorelei as a group during the day.
Lorelei will be participating in an author event through Untitled Town and The Lion’s Mouth Bookstore in Green Bay on Saturday, August 21st. All workshop sessions at the Astor House will be scheduled around Lorelei’s speaking engagement. (Final itinerary for our workshop will be established once the festival’s schedule is announced.) Those who wish can attend Lorelei’s one-hour talk with the festival.
Writers will enjoy a “Q&A Coffee and Dessert Social Hour” with Lorelei at the Astor House Saturday evening. Social time will also include an authors’ excerpt reading from Lorelei’s first novel “The Circus of Stolen Dreams.”

Green Bay is an incredible destination to visit at any time of year, and as such has proven to be a popular and sometimes busy place. People come from all over the country to tour wineries and go wine tasting, enjoy the impeccable scenery that Northern Wisconsin is known for, to watch and celebrate Packers Football, and to enjoy the unexpected blend of urban activity found here. In downtown Green Bay, you’ll find a variety of artistic and cultural venues and activities, an incredible range of restaurants, bustling boutiques, a vast network of trails to explore, and a vibrant nightlife.

Green Bay is, of course, a town synonymous with the famous Green Bay Packers. Green Bay Packer’s fans are a legendary and dedicated bunch, showing up in droves and packing Lambeau Field every time the Packers are in town. Not only that, but the historic Lambeau Field is a must on any trip to Green Bay. But, if you’re a sports fan who’s looking for something new and exciting, Green Bay is still the place for you! There are definitely plenty of things to do and see in Green Bay that have nothing to do with sports, but there is something year-round for sports fans to enjoy in Green Bay. 
Fall really is a fun time of year to be in Green Bay. Not only have the summer crowds started to thin a bit, but fall colors are slowly starting to creep in, turning everything stunning shades of red, orange, yellow, and green. Fall also happens to be a time when Green Bay hosts a variety of wine and beer festivals. What more could you possibly want in fall?
