Coastal Writing Retreat


It’s time to gather at the beach once again for a three-day writing retreat (October 15-18) in Gold Beach at a gorgeous house that embraces all that is exquisitely creative—a wrap-around deck for stunning sunsets & views of the ocean, ample common space to stretch and write, and a fully stocked kitchen for delicious meals. 

There is a particular intimacy that happens when a small group of writers gather together for a few days of connection, creativity, and writing. Come experience it! 

We’ll work together each day, fiction and nonfiction writers side-by-side. You’ll receive a curated folder of workshop materials to keep. Each evening, we’ll gather to share our work with one another. All writers of any stage are welcome! 

What’s included:

  • Workshop sessions for fiction & nonfiction writers
  • A curated folder of workshop materials
  • Evening readings & sharing by the fire or around the table
  • 7 meals together
  • Accommodation at the house, steps from the sea

PRICING:
  • $475 — Single room (Limited spots available)
  • $375 — Double occupancy
