Will a writing retreat help me finish my book?

If you're wondering whether a writing retreat will help you finish your book, the short answer is...


YES.


And here’s why:


On a writing retreat you get time and space to focus on your writing in a way that everyday life generally prevents: No cooking… No children…No meetings…No cleaning…No phone calls…No DIY jobs to do…No sorting other people’s problems…No distractions.

And instead, you can have:

  • Your own special place to write;

  • Uninterrupted time to plan, write and reflect;

  • Pampering with home cooked meals and refreshments when you most need a break;

  • Someone on hand every single day who is available to take a look at your words and give you honest, useful feedback in response to the questions you ask.


This is what a fully catered writing retreat uniquely provides: time and space and no worries except what to write.


This is the model we operate for our untutored writing retreats at A Place to Write, while our tutored retreats additionally include:

  • Writing workshops exploring structure, character, tone, and more;

  • Suggestions for best practice in developing a text for publication;

  • Recommended software to help you organise and record your ideas and drafts;

  • A motivating one-to-one with an award-winning author, mentor, and developmental editor.

Writing retreats are proven to help writers finish their book, meet their deadlines, achieve their goals, and walk away with their head held high and an fantastic sense of achievement.


Details of our own programme of tutored and untutored retreats can be found at https:www.aplacetowrite.co.uk/upcoming-dates. Check out our reviews on google and tripadviser too.







Till next time,
