Get Away to Write.
Our next retreat: a beautiful getaway in Southern England.
October 16th-23rd, 2026.
Want to spend time writing in a beautiful location, with amazing food, and a safe and supportive group of writers?
Do It! That was the title of Global Wordsmiths’ week-long writing retreat on the Yorkshire coast, and I’m delighted to say that I managed to do just that. Rather than having designated workshops on the art of writing fiction, this retreat was very much about us as individual authors. I chose to work on my manuscript in progress, alongside having one-to-one chats with Nic & Vic about the production and marketing nuts and bolts of being an indie publisher. Their expertise and knowledge, along with care and consideration for us as individuals made it positive and inspiring. Good food, comfy accommodation, and a hot tub, too! Thank you both. ~Kit Stone
How does the Do It! week work?
This writing retreat week is all about giving yourself the time and space to get away and write. Throughout the week, you’ll get to concentrate on your writing and the project you have in hand. A big continental breakfast will start you off right. The rest of the day is all yours, to write, wander, ponder, and create. We’ll serve dinner in the evening which will cater to individual dietary requirements, along with some truly mouth-watering desserts.
During the day, we have office hours. You can come and chat about your work, get feedback, talk through a sticking point, etc, and we’ll be on hand to talk about what you’re hoping for in your writing journey.
There’s nothing like being fed, hanging out with other writers, and letting your creativity flow in a safe space. Plus, the surroundings of the stunning coastline of Spain, with the amazing architecture, the history, and the beautiful beaches are sure to flood your soul with creativity.
