Writers’ Mutual: Retreat
Mon 26 Oct 2015 to Sun 1 Nov 2015
Hosted at a 17th Century farmhouse among the vineyards of Bordeaux, this week-long retreat for writers is designed to provide time and space for you to develop your work
Hosted at a 17th Century farmhouse among the vineyards of Bordeaux, this week-long retreat for writers is designed to provide time and space for you to develop your work, be it a novel, a full-length non-fiction piece, or a portfolio of shorter writing; smooth out any tangles; and receive detailed professional feedback on your work. Enjoy the comfort of this welcoming location, and spend days writing at the fireside, or looking out on the French countryside. 

There will be the opportunity to workshop pieces of writing throughout the week, both in a group format, led by an experienced feedback facilitator, and in one-to-one consultations, tailored to your requirements.

You’ll be able to step back from your work and get an overview. Retreat package includes:          
Time and space to write         
One-to-one mentoring         
Daily access to an experienced writing coach/novelist
