GREEK WRITING RETREATS

This autumn, join us on Greece's beautiful Halkidiki Peninsula for one (or two) stunning writing retreats with authors Victoria Gosling and Jane Flett. You'll find all the info over here:

But let's give you a taste of what to expect:

Week One – Wednesday October 1st to October 8th
Up to a maximum of sixteen lucky writers will join us at the Anna Karra Studios for a series of workshops, one-to-one mentoring, and intimate writing sessions. Award-winning authors Jane Flett and Victoria Gosling will take you on a writing bootcamp with six brand new workshops. From generating new stories to digging deep into craft elements, the workshops are suitable for beginner and experienced writers alike. Our aim in these workshops is to get you writing like never before.
Each writer will benefit from two one-to-one mentoring sessions (one with Victoria and one with Jane). This is your chance to dig deep and find the right direction for your work, whether your ambitions are to publish a book, commit to a regular practice, or simply find the joy in putting words on a page. And, lest the beach threatens to distract you, our regular Shut Up & Write sessions will be there to help you focus. We’ll also have a reading and Q&A session with your tutors, and there’ll be a chance for you to share your own work.
There’ll be time to relax too. You’ll have one free day mid-week to explore the surrounding area or take a boat or kayak over to the stunning Diaporos island.

“The perfect combination of relaxation and stimulation. Each workshop was thought-provoking and moved my projects along in some way.”

Week Two – Wednesday October 8th to Wednesday October 15th
This is the week where you set your own timetable. Of course, breakfast and one-to-ones (two per participant, one with Victoria and one with Jane) will be happening at set times, but otherwise you’ll be free to work on your project, wander the countryside, or sit sipping coffee and writing to your own rhythm. Over the course of the retreat, there will be plenty of optional get togethers (1-2 hours each) where you can read from your work, talk about the challenges you’re facing, share resources and tips, or undertake writing exercises. There will also be a group reading and the chance to hear your tutors share their work.

“Both in terms of accommodation and organisation the retreat exceeded my expectations. It was idyllic and so inspirational for my writing. It provided me with the space I needed to overcome the hurdles I faced before while writing my novel.”
