Having experienced a ‘taught’ retreat as an MA student battling with my debut novel, I have to say that I found it liberating. | |
It wasn’t just escaping the unsuccessful potty training and tantrums, becoming free of policing pre-meal hand-washing and an endless mountain of laundry, it was the sheer bliss of not having to think about anything other than storyline.

If you want to concentrate purely on one form, say novel writing or script writing, or even just have meals provided and absolute peace to continue with your project uninterrupted, you’ll be able to find the appropriate retreat option in an internet search - there are plenty out there to choose from. | |
I’m particularly taken by the fact that Karen’s retreats work hand-in-hand with literary agencies, actively talent-scouting as well as offering agent-author sessions as part of each course.
