The Resort was founded by writer Catherine LaSota and her husband, filmmaker Karl Jacob, as a physical space in Long Island City, Queens, NY for writers to gather and create. Our free virtual community is open to all writers from around the world and provides a place for us to learn together and develop and sustain writing practices together. Our paid membership program provides a supportive environment with a built-in writing group, helpful craft and publishing talks from members of our community, ongoing encouragement, books, and other resources!
Do you enjoy the supportive community of the Resort? Take it to the next level with our affordable paid membership program, which includes all of the following:
Our writing sessions and craft & publishing classes take place live via Zoom, and recordings of the classes are made available in our paid membership group online here in the Resort community (the Cabana Club), alongside additional resources and conversations posted exclusively in the Cabana Club group.
