🖋️ Writing Retreats
C.C. Humphreys
“I just came back from a week on Amorgos, teaching at the Writers’ Retreat. What a place, what a time! My partner and I were made so welcome by the Lakki Village staff — nothing was too much trouble. The location was excellent, the beach beautiful, and the meals superb. The organizers, Jonas Saul and Rania Stone, could not have been more generous. This made the work flow. It was wonderful to be able to share ideas and discuss the craft and the business of writing. I was the teacher yet learned so much too. Can’t wait to return!”
Marie Powell
“The week gave me the opportunity to focus on improving my craft and to take my works-in-progress to a new level.”
Stella Quinn
“Writing is a solitary pursuit and other writers get that; imposter syndrome is real; hanging out with other writers and talking about fight scenes or white space on a page or voice or research rabbit holes is like lighting a bunsen burner under my writing mojo. It fires me up enough to get through the solitary writing months ahead …”
W.L. Hawkin
