Write by the Water retreats : providing a place of solitude where you can explore your individual writing journey.

Held at international locations on, near or at the water, we cater to the needs of dedicated writers, offering the time, space and solitude needed to give full focus to your writing projects.

Our five-seven day residency includes semi-private lodging, some meals, one-on-one time with the writer-in-residence, and discussions of the business and life of the working writer.

Writers in all genres are encouraged to attend.

Whether you are a published author and need time to complete your manuscript, or an aspiring writer or student, we understand what it feels like to be pulled in three directions, when all you want to do is sit down and write.

Let us help you.
