It's not a question of whether you have a writer within—it's how can you set her free.

TUSCANY October 1 – 7, 2022

In this week-long writing retreat, you will focus on finding and nurturing your unique vision while surrounded by a supportive community of like-minded women. We will consider plot, dialogue, characterization, imagery, and more during this week together. You’ll discover and embrace your own story as you become curious about story ideas, inspirations, and blocks. I am dedicated to getting you beyond your internal critic and into your creative flow, and I have a unique and effective teaching style that instills confidence and promotes growth. What could be better for your writing than getting away from the stresses of everyday life? We will take care of everything; all you have to do is relax, reconnect with your creative flow, and write as you’ve always wanted to.

What

I will lead a 3-hour group writing session each morning.
Lunch will be served outside the terrace if the weather is fine.
Guided tours of the surrounding area will be scheduled for some afternoons, or you will be free to relax and write on your own.
On a few afternoons during the week, we will reconvene for an additional group writing session.
This retreat includes two private consultations with me, one during the retreat week and the second via phone at some point following the retreat.
We will enjoy an aperativo in the outdoor living room each evening before dinner and reflect on the day.
