A Writing Retreat with Anna Chilvers and Ali Harper
Writing Talk
To be held at Cober Hill, five miles up the east coast from Scarborough.
Anna and Ali have worked together on many retreats and are passionate about enabling writers to express themselves creatively. This year’s theme is Writing Talk which will cover a wide variety of topics, including voice, dialogue, what we talk about when we talk about writing – and we’re hoping to have a literary agent join us for the guest speaker slot. The course includes workshops, [writing] exercise classes, seminars, writing time, an open mic night, feedback groups and the chance to recharge your creative batteries.
Check in is available from 3pm on Monday. The course starts at 5pm and includes full board and accommodation in single, or double, en-suite bedrooms. This is our sixth year at Cober Hill and it’s a beautiful place, within walking distance of the coastline and with gorgeous grounds, including a tennis court and croquet lawn. There are separate lounges for our exclusive use, in addition to the training room and a theatre space for the open mic night. The bedrooms are all single occupancy, with ensuite facilities and wifi. There are a limited number of double or larger rooms which cost slightly more. Please state when booking which type of room you would require. There is also a bar!
What writers have said about our retreats:
A relaxed, collaborative atmosphere
This is a great, practical course with friendly, kind and experienced tutors who really know their stuff
A creative and stimulating experience that encouraged me to get into the pattern of writing.
