Big news! Our Agent Weekend is back in January! And just two spaces left on the 27th of October writing workshop with award-winning author, Janet Gover.
Need access to an agent who will answer all your questions?
Do you need an agent? Would you like to find out firsthand what makes a good submission by spending a whole day in the company of one of the top London agents from Watson Little?
We’ve just announced our January Tues-Sat Just Write retreat, and the Saturday workshop (and Friday night) with Megan Carroll. A sell-out success earlier this year, you are almost the first to know about this, so please get in touch soon if you’d like to find out more, or look at this link.
Please note that the first come first served are also eligible to stay for the Saturday night afterwards on a self catering basis for just £20! You can’t get fairer than that! Contact me for more details if you need more info. But book soon, as it’s already begun to sell out.
Need a workshop with a tutor?
Last two places if you’re writing a novel and you need help, on our October 27 four day workshop with brilliant experienced tutor and prolific author Janet Gover, details here.
Weekend retreat? Our once a year weekend retreat is selling quickly, it’s a Just Write week, your chance to come away and be looked after for three nights over a weekend. If you want you can come the week before as well as there’s a four night retreat just before it, if you’re really serious about treating yourself this year and giving yourself seven days to get the job done!
Need an online memoirs course?
The lovely Margarita Gokun Silver, who had such a successful sellout retreat on micro memoirs/memoir-in-essays in August, (And has booked another one next August, see our Events page) has some news. She has created an amazing opportunity to study with her online, deadline is December 1 to apply. Please contact Margarita direct to find out more about how you can write your own memoir and study with her at a distance, possibly culminating in attending the in-person workshop in August. (Optional).
Please contact her here.
Need to see your finished book on our ortho bookshelves?
Well done to Georgia Hill for her latest release, Magpie. I made it my ‘book of the week’ on my Friday blog (debbieflint.com), last week. Set partly in 1660, I loved the by-line – “never turn your back on a magpie or a witch…” . Looking forward to reading it on audiobook!

Previous guests – Don’t forget to let me know when you have a new one out, and alert your Retreats For You WhatsApp group from your workshop week, if you had one! Everyone is so supportive when authors make these announcements, it’s a delight to see.
Need to set up a bespoke retreat with a group of 5 to 6 Writers?
Apart from that, let me know if you’d like to bring a group for a bespoke week because we can now do more dates than ever before thanks to my friend and fellow host, Jennie Dodd (also does massage and yoga sessions). Just ask. We currently have a slot on October 6 if your writing group can get away, at a really affordable price for everybody. Because it’s our first one. Please ask! Just press reply and put the word ‘bespoke.’
Hope to see you soon. Meanwhile, I will get back to my ‘French or Dutch’ manuscript!
Best wishes and happy writing this autumn!
