Welcome, and thanks for visiting!

Because you’ve found your way to our Website, you are someone who loves to write but also understands that in order to write well, there is so much more for you to learn.

Whatever it is you wish to write with authority — articles, columns, nonfiction books, your memoir, and/or novels of any genre, the WRITE IT / SELL IT network is here for you.

To help you improve your skills and master your work-in-progress,
we offer easy-to-absorb, step-by-step instruction, guidance, feedback, and the support and encouragement of an extraordinary family of writers.

Since 1985, WRITE IT / SELL IT has been about helping writers exactly like you.

Connecting you and your writing with the legacy of Gary Provost.
And beyond.

"If you have published none of your writing
or very little, you can be certain of this:
Somebody like you, somebody new to the
writing game, somebody who is dazzled by hope
and uncertainty and a glut of questions about writing,
will get his or her work published in the coming months.
It might as well be you."
— Gary Provost

What does Gary Provost have to do with you?

Well, for a start, writers and writers’ groups (here and abroad) have referred to the late Gary Provost [www.garyprovost.com] as “The Writer’s Writer” because of his instructional articles, columns, and books for Writer’s Digest, his lectures at conferences nation-wide, his WRITE IT/SELL IT SEMINARS taught around the country, his home-study video/audio courses for novelists (VIDEO NOVEL WORKSHOP), and the internationally acclaimed ten-day workshop, the WRITERS RETREAT WORKSHOP.

Thanks to his versatility, nuts and bolts approach and supportive and entertaining style, Gary had been considered the country’s most sought-after teacher of writing-for-publication.

He helped hundreds of thousands of writers to improve their skills so that they could become published writers, or expand their already existing markets. And he can still help you.

Fortunately, his legacy lives on.

We are happy to continue to offer instructional tools for pre-published and published writers—books, seminars, workshops and services created specifically for you by the popular and beloved Gary Provost.

WRITERS RETREAT WORKSHOP, founded by Gary and Gail Provost in 1987, offers an intensive, personalized 10-day program for writers ready to develop their novels (of any genre) and craft them into publishable shape. The internationally renowned WRW program was selected by USA Today as the learning vacation for writers "that can change your life." It continues to evolve and blossom under the leadership of the next generation and the masterful direction of Jason Sitzes and his incomparable core staff: Lorin Oberweger, Roman White, and Brenda Windberg.

"The true mojo comes from 1) the participants and 2) Gary and Gail.
As long as we can focus on what Gary and Gail intended
the WRW to be, we can't go wrong."
— Jason Sitzes, Director
