Calling all storytellers!
Unplug from the ordinary and plug into inspiration at our upcoming writing retreat. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature, surround yourself with fellow writers, and let the creative energy flow. Whether you're a seasoned author or just starting your literary journey, join us for a week of words, wisdom, and wonderful connections.
Let's turn the blank page into a canvas of endless possibilities.
The week-long Jonas Saul Masterclass offers a wealth of knowledge, practical skills, and a deeper understanding of your craft. All sessions aim to find more readers in your chosen genre and lean toward you writing cleaner, fast-paced novels that people talk about (word of mouth).
THE RETREAT WEEK SUMMARY:
08:00 - 09:30--Buffet Breakfast.
10:00 - 13:00—Morning sessions run three hours with a short break in between. The itinerary below details these sessions. In the afternoons, you can choose from various activities: edit, walk the beach, swim, hike from one village to another, or take a nap—whatever you like. The possibilities are endless, and the choice is yours!
Afternoons - One-on-one sessions with Jonas to work on what you need: adding tension/emotion into your manuscript, cover art, formatting, career, social media, etc.
20:00 - Meet for dinner, then spend the rest of the evening chatting about writing. We’ll have readings, critiques, and motivational stories of successes and how to manage your career.
Tours: During our six-night stay on the island of Amorgos, we'll visit the 11th-century monastery, tour the white village of Chora, and go on a village hike!
