Join Women Who Write Edinburgh for a day of guided writing sprints, a beach walk and a seasonal treat alongside your fellow women and NB writers. The day flows as follows:
9:30–9:45 am – Arrive, grab a drink, take a seat. We’ll make sure you feel welcome and run some fun, low-pressure introductions so you have a chance to get to know everyone in the room.
10:00 am – Quiet writing sessions start, with plenty of tea, coffee and a seasonal By the Beach Treat!
1:00 pm – Lunch! Bring your own or grab something from the high street.
1:45 pm – Back to writing.
2:45 pm – An optional walk along the beach to get your creativity flowing!
3:30 pm – Back to writing.
5:00 pm – Reflect on your progress and head home for some well-deserved rest!
Some FAQs about our writing retreats:
- There’s no pressure to share your work, but we’re happy to discuss all things writing!
- No need to hit a certain word count.
- You can bring a notepad or laptop – there’s WiFi and plenty of charging points.
- Anyone who identifies as a woman or as non-binary is welcome to attend. We are an LGBTQ+ safe space and trans inclusive.
- If you need a discounted or free ticket and there are none available at checkout, please get in touch with us at womenwhowriteedinburgh@gmail.com, as we can usually help.
