Virtual Writing Retreat
A restorative, immersive virtual writing experience
Three days. Guided craft. Protected writing time.
The Summer Writing Retreat is a three-day virtual retreat designed to help writers slow down, reconnect with their work, and make meaningful progress — without burnout or pressure.
Blending structured craft classes, guided writing sessions, a keynote conversation, and intentional faculty interaction, this retreat offers both momentum and restoration.
What This Retreat Is
This is not about hustle or word counts.
It’s about:
writing with intention
learning practical craft tools
creating space to focus
leaving with clarity and confidence
All craft classes and the keynote are recorded so you can revisit them after the retreat.
Who The Summer Retreat is For
The Summer Writing Retreat is designed for writers who want protected time to focus on their work while also learning practical craft tools they can apply immediately. It’s ideal if you’re drafting, revising, or returning to a project after a break, and want gentle structure without pressure to share or perform. This retreat is especially well suited for writers who value a balance of learning and doing, enjoy optional community connection, and are looking to leave with renewed clarity, confidence, and momentum. Writers at all experience levels are welcome.
Schedule at a Glance
Each day includes:
one craft-focused class
one guided writing block
opportunities to engage with faculty
built-in breaks to protect energy
Programming is designed to fit into real life, not overwhelm it.
