Online Workshops and Ongoing Support
Keep writing after the retreat. Finish what you started.
Our retreats provide focused time and space for writers at every stage of their journey. Now you can enjoy that rhythm and progress all year round: regular sessions, real accountability and expert guidance (plus engagement with a community of writers like you) wherever you are in the world. Open to everyone.
Across all our services Nic draws on a career in professional theatre, from acting to playwriting to directing, to help you shape your story’s structure, character and language in powerful ways. It's a unique approach with uniquely engaging outcomes.
Choose the level of service that fits best with your needs and book today with no risk - use the first session you attend in your first month of membership as a free trial. If you then decide it's not for you, cancel your membership without question and get a full refund. What's more, once you are accepted on tier 1 or 2, the price you pay for that tier will remain the same for a minimum of 18 months.
