Write thousands of words from where ever you are in the world. 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. 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. Just logon for a brief introduction where we help you set your writing goals for the day and you can see that you’ve got a whole big writing community around you and supporting you. Then 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. In all our writing retreats, we write in manageable, productive chunks or ‘sprints’. These are between 20 – 40 minutes of writing, then a 5 or 10 minutes break, rinse, repeat. Bosh. Job done. Then at the end of the retreat, check in for a debrief, gold stars, and rounds of applause for all your hard work. NB We are not on Zoom all day. We jump on in the morning for an intro and a guide for how to run the day, have check ins on the forum during the day, and then get on Zoom again in the afternoon for a check in and debrief.

Who are online writers’ 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.
Your host for these shenanigans...

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.
