free online writing retreats
SUPER-PRODUCTIVE, SUPER FRIENDLY, SUPER FREE!
ONLINE WRITING RETREATS RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AND WEEKEND
WRITE THOUSANDS OF WORDS FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN COVID-SAFE PJS
With the world being {waves arms furiously} like this, it’s sometimes really hard to focus.
That’s why we’ve developed our state-of-the-art, cutting edge, highest of all high tech online writing retreats. That’s a retreat for writers. A writers’ retreat, if you will. An online retreat for writers, for free. Woo!
During each retreat we give you the ultimate pep-shakedown, give you supportive accountability, and help you to get on and do the work.
Because the only way to get your project written is to sit down and write it.
WHAT HAPPENS AT AN ONLINE WRITERS' RETREAT?
Writing, and lots of it.
The online writing retreats run every single weekend – and mini ones on Wednesdays too. They’re free to join and available in the UK and worldwide so you can attend from the comfort of your own hide-frome-the-world sofa.
Simply join us for a brief morning webinar where we’ll outline the plan for the day and get you to set your writing targets.
We’ll give you set times in which to write, set times to check in on our community forums, and you can use our gang of awesome writers to help keep you motivated and accountable.
Then at the end of the day check in for a debrief, gold stars, and rounds of applause for all your hard work.
WHO ARE WRITERS' HQ ONLINE WRITING RETREATS FOR?
- Everyone!
- New writers or experienced writers with a project in progress that has stalled or been put aside while life takes over.
- New or experienced writers who want to tinker with an idea, or with an idea they want to make a big start on.
- People who want to drink tea and eat biscuits and write some words in a fun, supportive environment.
- People writing fiction, non-fiction, academic texts, copy, journalism, poetry, creative non-fiction, genre, high brow, low brow, and anything else that needs an alphabet shuffle.
THE SCHEDULE OF YOUR WRITING DREAMS
During the online writing retreats we write in manageable, productive little chunks or ‘sprints’ – 20-30 mins of work, then a 5-10 min break, rinse, repeat, get the job done.
We kick off the day with an intro webinar which will get you prepped and pepped for the day, then check-in every few hours to see how everyone’s doing, finishing with a webinar debrief at 4pm. Of course, we realise everyone’s situation/availability is different, so you’re absolutely free to make your own schedule and just check in now and then to let us know how you’re getting on. You do you. No pressure, no stress!
Here’s what a standard retreat day looks like:
- 10am: intro webinar and goal setting with Sarah, Jo or one of our excellent and very lovely retreat reps (approx 30 – 40 mins)
- 12 noon: First check in on our community forum
- 2pm: Second check in on our community forum
- 4pm: debrief webinar, final check and gold stars (approx 30 – 40 mins)
