Writing Retreat
Date: 12th-13th December
Time: 10.00-13.00
Location: Portsmouth Central Library
Cost: £9, £5 concessions.
A quarterly Writing Retreat, inspired by wonderful feedback at Portsmouth Bookfest 2025. Write alongside beginners and published authors.
How does a writing retreat work?
- Come in person or join the Zoom link sent out with tickets.
- Bring your work-in-progress or start with a writing prompt.
- Take part in timed writing sessions (50 minutes – an hour of focused writing)
- Ask me questions during the breaks
Whether writing a novel, a blog, or just getting something shifted, this is a constructive way to get words on the page. Make the most of your inspirations.
Attend one morning, or both. Buy just one ticket: same link both days.
“Reignited something in my soul”
Offering goal-setting targets, encouragement, and the camaraderie that such a solitary calling often lacks. (Zoom link sent to ticket holders.)
10 am Goal-setting
10.15 Write
11.30 Coffee break
12.50 pm Morning feedback
“Amazing how the writing prompts so often led into just the bit of writing I was struggling with.”
Not quite a workshop, more a way to feel part of the writing community, share writing experiences woeful and wonderful, and get words on the page.
Lower Ground Floor, Central Library
10 am – 1 pm Fri 12 Dec AND/or 10 am – 1 pm Sat 13 Dec
