Back in February 2012 when the Cambridge Writers’ Workshop opened our office in Brooklyn, New York, singer-songwriter Erica Buettner came to help us inaugurate our workshop and move to Brooklyn.  Erica also joined the Cambridge Writers’ Workshop on August 3, 2015, when many of members of our writing faculty and participants of our Summer in Paris Writing Retreat read at SpokenWord Paris.  This past August, Erica performed her new song, “Rome,” which celebrates the victories and challenges of being a wandering bard.

In honor of our upcoming Summer Writing Retreat in Barcelona & Narbonne, France (July 18-26, 2016) and Summer Writing Retreat in Granada, Spain (July 28 – August 5, 2016), we’d like to feature the debut of Erica’s new song, “Rome.”  Come join us in Europe this summer on all our roads to “Rome.”  Our summer writing retreats in France and Spain offer opportunities for writers of all genres and levels to work alongside award-winning authors & editors.  Past faculty include Kathleen Spivack, David Shields, Peter Orner, Diana Norma Szokolyai, Stephen Aubrey, Rita Banerjee, Jessica Reidy, and Elissa Lewis.  Stay tuned for information on our retreats and registration deadlines!
