“I cannot recommend this enough for anyone looking to refocus and give real time to their work away from everyday distractions.”

(Filmmaker/comedian, attended 23rd November 2013)

Do you struggle to find the time, space and discipline to write?

Do you and your project need a little nurturing?

Want to meet other queer creatives?

Then come spend a day at the Queer Writers Retreat. You will be well-fed, thoroughly taken care of, and you will write.

You will write a lot.

Picture this: A calm and cosy flat with a good-sized room for writing and another for chilling out. A relaxed but focused atmosphere. A lovely selection of tea, coffee and homemade cake in the kitchen whenever you feel like it. Gorgeous views and interesting things to look at, should you need a little visual stimuli. Essential oils to help you focus. A talented sounding board available all day, should you get truly stuck. An opportunity to relax at the end of the day with your peers and discuss your work over a glass of wine or a cuppa, should you so wish. And that warm satisfaction that comes from being utterly immersed in your work for an entire day and meeting, or even exceeding your goals.

Places are strictly limited

Here’s what people are saying about it…

“Thank YOU. It was such a brilliant day. From the start you took care of everything: from gentle prodding on the writing, to a comfortable space and wonderful food and drink all day. And the unexpected bonus, the funny and open-hearted fellow writers. We did chat but it was mostly about writing and only a little about hair…”

“The view is just magic”

“Stephanie creates a wonderfully warm and relaxed environment where writers across disciplines can come together to work. Support is available at all times, be it in the form of tea and cake, or a sounding board for an idea. Having writers from mixed disciplines is great for fresh perspectives and new techniques and the atmosphere of creativity and mutual respect is really quite special.”
