Bradford Writers’ Retreat

Come write with us! A day of uninterrupted writing, tea-drinking, and croissant eating. Set your goals, write your words, win gold stars. Bliss!

The best one-day writing retreat in Bradford!

In need of time & space to write? Yeah, us too. Which is why we created our famously productive one-day writing retreats — to give writers the headspace and the writing space they need to let their words flow. A supportive environment + an endless supply of caffeine and snacks + gold stars for motivation + all the pep and encouragement you could ever need = the perfect set up for writing bliss. Join us in Bradford for a glorious day of writing, alongside like-minded creatives working on a whole heap of different and exciting projects. There’s no pressure — no awkward ice-breakers — just a safe place for you to write to your heart’s content. So get your butt down to Bradford Writers’ Retreat and let us help you get the words out (of your brain, not your butt).

Read this before going to the forum!

The widget that lets you sign into the forum with your WHQ login has given up. 

We are trying to coax it back into existence. So far neither bribery, begging or crying has worked. We are currently trying shaking our fists at the sky and going ‘grrrr’.

You can still get to the forum though! Do this:

  1. Click the button below
  2. On the forum login page, click reset password USING THE SAME EMAIL YOU USE FOR WHQ
  3. Click the link in the email and reset your password

IMPORTANT: This means you will have TWO (2) passwords/logins. One for the WHQ main site and one for the forum. It’s a pain in the arse. We’re sorry. It is temporary, but at least you can dick about on the forum again. OKAY BYE.
