Writing Retreats

If you or your team have got writing to do, then I've got just the unique and practical writing retreat for you, to help you get even the most challenging writing projects completed. 


In our busy always on society, it can be a struggle to carve out the headspace and time to give writing the time and concentration it requires. My structured writing retreats are run on the principles developed by Professor Rowena Murray, and have a sustained track record of supporting people to get their writing done.


Unlike many writing retreats, mine don't require you to stay overnight or drive into the countryside. You can get your work done and still be home in time to walk the dog or put your kids to bed. They're pragmatic, every day and accessible, but for all that they're still pretty magical. Creating a safe and energised space to tackle those writing tasks that have been lingering and helping to build better writing habits which can be taken back into daily life. 


I run regular writing retreats that you can book a place on, based at the Bath Literary and Science Institute (BRLSI) in Queen Square in Bath. Each retreat can accommodate up to 12 participants. We get 9 hours of writing done over 2 days - with loads of time for relaxing and chatting in between. Lunch and snacks are provided. 


I'm available to run bespoke writing retreats, exclusive to your team. These can also be tailored to particular focuses, whether that's a particular funding call or getting more 4* papers written. My retreats have a proven track record of increasing writing while building team cohesion and confidence.

"Rachel’s writing retreats are truly fantastic. Rachel creates a space that reframes academic writing as a creative process and privilege. I am lucky to have attended a few and always find the balance of writing and breaks really conducive to my productivity. 

There is something particularly special in the way these are run, as the atmosphere is at once serious and goal oriented, and yet casual and non-judgmental. I always come away feeling good about my work and invigorated to carry on with my writing"
