Why authors love Retreats For You and how it helped Kate Baker finish her highly reviewed debut Maid of Steel
 
Kate Baker tells me how being here at a retreat or two, helped her write the highly reviewed debut #maidofSteel – and an exciting blog tour. Met at Self-Publishing Forum’s Live Show #Spslive2024 in London. Always nice to catch up!

Very happy for Kate, looking forward to her next one. Look out for her short stories in The People’s Friend as well!

The news of our workshops do visit our event page (here).

From writing a novel for beginners, to honing your craft, we do one retreat a month on different topics, including Memoirs. (Spaces on our micro Memoirs week in August, a great way of getting published and seeing your work online or in magazines – contact us soon, just two places left. Room, full board, wine with supper, no chores, charming thatched house in North Devon. Info@ retreatsforyou .co .uk).

From your host Debbie Flint…

Every writer needs a space to be creative: an idyllic writing retreat, a cosy room, no interruptions and all meals, hot drinks and snacks provided. Like-minded company, no chores, no daily domestic routine to distract you, just the luxury of feeling looked after from 2pm on your day of arrival until the morning you leave.

We also welcome you if you need some time out for any other reason – or just to relax and get a good night’s sleep. We’re offering complete respite from life’s distractions. A writers’ retreat, deep in the heart of the beautiful North Devon UK countryside, where that space is waiting for you. This is your time. We guarantee it. Get in touch.

Luv Debbie Flint

Xx

Our facilities

We offer quiet, comfortable rooms in a large, traditional 1600s thatched house, with a roaring woodburner and a beautiful courtyard and walled garden. You can be as solitary or as sociable as you choose. And as a working writer, I am happy to offer constructive criticism on your work. The village pub is just 50 yards from the front door and there are many delightful walks all around.

But not everyone who visits Retreats for You is here to write. Some paint, read, tackle a work project, or simply relax and recuperate.
