“The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow excels in the ways in which it supports authors,” Ross explained, “demonstrating the power of their commitment to excellence toward writers and authors in their writing and publishing careers and journey, and in their service to the literary industry as a whole.”


The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow creates a space for individuals to produce creative works, while offering opportunities such as fellowships and scholarships to help subsidize the cost of completing their projects.

“Path To Publishing is known for providing reliable resources and referrals,” Ross said. “We do our best to vet, utilize, and observe literary industry professionals, experts, and service providers to make sure we gather the right resources, which we then match to our clients’ needs.”
