You’re a writer.
Where does your mind go when you imagine the perfect retreat?
Does it look like this? Full of magic, adventure and intrigue?
Maybe your retreat is more artsy, like this unique dwelling in a place far removed.
Perhaps you’re the quiet type, seeking a humble abode in a serene setting.
But wait. A place is just a place, isn’t it? What makes it your perfect fiction writing seminar and retreat?
