Who comes to the workshops at Fifth House Lodge?
A workshop may include people in life transitions who wish to learn how to listen to themselves through writing, those who feel blocked and seek creative openings for their lives and work, as well as experienced writers who want fresh ideas for mining and developing  material.

Is my workshop deposit refundable?
If cancellations occur due to weather or inadequate enrollment, the deposit is refunded in full. Otherwise, deposits are non-refundable. If you must withdraw from a program and give notice one week in advance of that program, your deposit may be applied to another workshop within a year.

How do I get to Fifth House Lodge?
Fifth House Lodge is located 50 minutes west of Exit 48 off of the Maine Turnpike. The nearest airport is the Portland Jetport, one hour away. Limousine service is available. Other area airports are in Manchester, NH and Boston, each three hours away. Bus and train service to Portland is available from points south. You will receive explicit directions to the lodge as part of your information packet.

Is there an application process?
Unless otherwise specified, all workshops at Fifth House Lodge focus on the writing process itself rather than on participants’ past or current work. Workshops are designed to benefit all writers, regardless of experience. As such, there are no prerequisites, nor is there an application process.
