This is a chance for you and your writing to take centre stage. As such, you’ll be encouraged to structure your stay according to what works best for you. Everything is entirely optional. You might want to go out and explore the beautiful countryside. Or you might prefer to find a comfy corner of the cottage where you can snuggle up and write.
Open for Applications 1st-20th February.
The retreat includes:
- taught workshops lasting between 60 and 90 minutes covering key concepts of writing fiction,
- time to concentrate on your writing,
- one-to-ones with Matt and Ruth,
- feedback workshops,
- evening activities.
There's no compulsion to take part in everything - you do you. Our aim is that your stay becomes whatever you need it to be to feel creatively energised and replenished, and that you come away from your experience having conjured plenty of new words and made some wonderful writing friends.
The retreat is self-catered. There are shops and a supermarket a walk or short drive away. All sessions and accommodation are included in the price.
