Writing retreats

Dedicated Writing. Supportive Community. Meaningful Progress.

I organize residential writing retreats for scholars who seek dedicated time and space to focus on their writing, connect with a supportive community, and make meaningful progress on their scholarly projects.

Surrounded by nature, with delicious food, a welcoming home, and inspiring conversations, our retreats offer more than just writing time—they create opportunities for new friendships, collaboration, and personal growth.

  • Open to faculty members, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, independent scholars, and academic professionals working on scholarly writing.

    Bring any project you would like to advance, including:

    • Journal articles

    • Book chapters or manuscripts

    • Dissertations

    • Grant proposals

    • Conference papers

    • Research statements or other academic writing

  • The retreat provides dedicated time and space for focused writing, combined with a small, supportive scholarly community.

    Participants will have:

    • Extended, uninterrupted writing time

    • A quiet and inspiring setting

    • Daily goal-setting and accountability

    • Optional peer discussion and feedback

    • Informal opportunities to connect with fellow scholars

    • Community meals and conversation

    The retreat is intentionally limited to small group typically six participants to create a focused, collegial, and supportive environment.

    • 3 nights’ accommodation

    • Dedicated writing space

    • High-speed Wi-Fi

    • Breakfast (self-serve), lunches and community dinners

    • Coffee, tea, and light snacks

    • Structured writing sessions

    • Daily goal-setting and accountability check-ins

    • Optional peer discussion

  • Because this is a small residential workshop with limited spaces and advance accommodation and meal arrangements, cancellations may be subject to the following policy:

    ·  30 days or more before: Full refund

    ·  15–29 days before: 50% refund

    ·  14 days or less before: No refund

    If your place can be filled by another participant, we will do our best to provide a full refund, less any non-refundable costs.

    Registration may also be transferred to another person, subject to approval.

  • This is not a conference or traditional hotel retreat. It is a small writing community built around focus, mutual support, and shared responsibility.

    Participants are asked to respect quiet writing time, contribute to community meals and shared spaces, and encourage one another’s progress.
