Join us on retreat
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, and then you’ll receive a link to a dedicated daily retreat page with a “before writing” and “after writing” video every day for the five days of the retreat. 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 these 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!
