Sure we can all write at home but here are some reasons to treat yourself (or the writer in your life) to a day where they can not only get the time and space to write, they can do it somewhere inspiring amongst other writers. Here is some of our feedback from two fantastic authors @liambrownwriter and @harriet.cummings who attended our retreat day at @thefoldleamington in January this year. And if you needed any more encouragement, check out the final slide!
Announcements for exciting new retreat days in two new locations coming very soon so follow us to be the first to know the secret.

Writing is hard and no matter where you are in your writing journey if you're actively writing something you can stop calling yourself "aspiring." The only thing you need to be doing to be able to call yourself a writer is to write. Tag someone in the comments who needs to see this. #secretwritingretreats #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writing

On my LIVE the other day writers were asking about how you can get a book deal and be a traditionally published author. The answer is more in depth than this but these 3 things are a good starting point if you're looking to publish your novel and see it on the shelves in bookstores.

Should you self publish or be traditionally published? Highlight from tonight's Tiktok LIVE from @secretwritingretreats and it's all about the money! Which would you rather be?

Don't be an April fool! Here are writing competitions open for submission this April but be quick - some of the deadlines are soon. There's a real mix of opportunities for fiction novels, short stories, poetry and even screenplays! Some great prizes too including a meeting with a literary agent!

A lot of work goes into planning a @secretwritingretreats event. Here's a peek behind the scenes as I'm planning my next day writing retreat for established and aspiring writers in June. Location announcement coming very soon! To be in on the secret, give us a follow.

There's only a couple of weeks left to spring into action for these fantastic writing opportunities.

For Self-published writers there's the @ruberybookaward, for YA and Children's writers check out @writementor and for flash fiction there's a great opportunity from @swlitfest.

If you're entering any of them then good luck from @secretwritingretreats 🤞🏼

For us, a great location to write in is essential to get creativity flowing. What are your essential needs to get your creativity going? A hot cup of tea? A playlist of feel good music? Or something else?
