about
The Midwest Reading Retreat fosters friendships for bibliophiles through reading retreats. We make time to read in welcoming environments, emphasizing an inclusive community. Our itineraries are loosely structured, giving you ample time to snuggle with your books and chat with other bookish humans.
Our writers workshops are designed to awaken your creativity and inspiration. We have laid-back discussions lead by experienced authors and dedicated brain storming time to work up your next, great novel. These sessions are for writers to receive feedback, learn from their peers, and expand their craft through a casual group setting.

How it Started
how it started
Midwest Reading Retreat started in March 2025, when Monica’s passion of reading and community needed to expand beyond her public library’s walls. She wanted to curate a weekend getaway that would be an overindulgent, literary delight. The goal of this small business is to ensure each guest feels comfortable and provide the opportunity to connect with other humans who share the love of reading.
