Hello to all the new friends here! I’m @authorchristinahill 👋Maybe you found this page randomly while scrolling, or you saw photos from a fellow author who attended our recent writing retreat. However you found us, I’m glad you’re here! We host a yearly writing retreat in the mountains of Montana that feels a lot like summer camp. We write, we play, we eat, and we talk. A lot. I’ve heard from attendees that it feels a little bit like coming home when we all get in a room together, and we aren’t interrupted by the daily pressures. We just get to be. We wrapped our 2025 event last week, and I’m already missing these amazing ladies who carved out the time to be here. I’m eager to see them next year!If you want to know more, sign up for our newsletter to get the scoop on our next event ❤️ by @mountains.manuscripts

@authorchristinahill here 👋Three summers ago I started a hosting writing retreats in Bozeman, MT because I wanted to hang with all of my internet author friends irl. I wanted to create a relaxing space where the only finger they had to lift was to write their books. Where there was no light pollution, and we could sit under the stars around a campfire and laugh together. Where writers at any phase in their career could come and work, play, and learn. Thus, @mountains.manuscripts was born.I’ve had the absolute honor of putting together three retreats that feel a lot like summer camp, but for women writers who want a few nights away and dedicated time to write that book! BZN Book Con was an idea that came from our retreats. I had 20+ authors in town that next week anyway, why not put together a Con event too? So after BZN Book Con, a handful of us will escape to a ranch in the wilderness (but with showers and catered meals), to hang out, write, network, learn from some of our amazing workshop leaders like @becca_syme and @amy.harmon.author. It’s my favorite week of the whole year ❤️Even though all of our overnight accommodations are full, we have plenty of day passes available for those who want to experience the ✨magic✨ that is M&M! Check out the application via the link tree @mountains.manuscripts insta page for more details, or message me for any questions! We open registration for summer 2027 in September/October, so follow along 🫶 by @mountains.manuscripts
