Join our FREE global online retreat!
Can’t make it to one of our in-person writing retreats? This free online event provides you with twice-daily inspiration for staging a productive, nurturing 5-day writing retreat at home.
Facilitated by international writing expert Helen Sword, our self-paced retreat is suitable for any kind of writer, whether you aspire to carve out just an hour or two of daily writing time or are looking for a full-on immersive experience.
Register below to join our live 5-Day Stay-Home Writing Retreat during the week of August 10-14, 2026.
You'll start by watching Helen's 11-minute "getting ready" video before the retreat begins. Each day after that, you'll get an email with a link to that day's retreat page, complete with a "before writing" and "after writing" video. Best of all, you'll be part of an international community of writers all undertaking the retreat at the same time.
WriteSPACE members: We’ll be running an online daily chat throughout the week to supplement the self-paced videos. Share your successes and soothe your frustrations in conversation with fellow writers from around the world. (Not a member? Click here and use the discount code provided for a free 30-day trial).
We’d love to see you there!
