Writing retreats

Protected writing time to progress on projects

Opportunities for protected and focused writing time in a structured and supportive environment to progress on projects. These sessions are not writing workshops, they are simply a dedicated space and time to write, strengthened by accountability and peer support. Participants should come to the session with an idea of what they are going to be working on and be ready to switch off other distractions to just write. There are a variety of writing retreats to choose from to suit your schedule and needs, both online and hybrid, short 1 hour or half-day retreats. There are also themed retreats which provide more information and more time for peer discussion and feedback on a specific theme.
