Who is it for?
This writing retreat is for all women writers, no matter your level of experience. We are book coaches, but both of us have worked with writers at all levels and at all stages of life. We are here to support you in your writing, wherever you are at.
You don’t have to be working on a book project, either. Bring whatever writing project you want to work on. We are coming together to rekindle the creative source that feeds us when we return to our responsibilities.
If you are
trying to find quality time to write your book but life keeps getting in the way
losing clarity, focus or mojo on your project
looking for a way to rekindle your passion and purpose
you can choose to put yourself first and gain a renewed focus on your inner creative spirit and your writing goals.
