In 2015, a group of furry writers gathered together to start planning for the furry fandom's first (and currently only) residential writing workshop experience: the Regional Anthropomorphic Writers Retreat. The retreat takes place in a live-in setting where up to six writers live, breathe, and eat together while honing elements of their craft by critiquing, through lectures, and through individualized coaching. Today, RAWR is a program of the Association for the Promotion of Anthropomorphic Writing, Incorporated, a federally-recognized 501(c)3 tax-exempt public charity dedicated to educating, promoting, and raising awareness of furry writers, and providing writing-associated content education to the general public. The purpose of this panel is to provide information about the Regional Anthropomorphic Writers Retreat, including costs, expectations, and the application process. Photos of the previous classes will also be shared and there will be time for general questions. Note that his is NOT a writing workshop session; no writing will be shared or critiqued at this presentation.
