Sussex Writers’ Retreat

Do you want to inspire your creative writing this summer? Come along to a writing retreat with interactive creative writing workshops, informative talks and free writing time in an inspirational location. You’ll get the chance to take in the stunning Sussex countryside, enjoy the fresh air and put that pen to paper.

Tortington Priory Barn is a comfortable, modern building (winner of an English Heritage Award) nestling in the shadows of an atmospheric thatched Grade II Listed Building with views across to Arundel Castle and Cathedral.

This year’s Writers’ Retreat sponsored by Summersdale Publishers Ltd. and Story Massage is Saturday 5th July-Sunday 6th July, 2014, during Festival of Chichester.

Workshops include:
Inspirations: Looking Outside with Cathy Watts
You and Your Writing with Mark A Radcliffe

Talks include:
An Insider’s View of Publishing with Abbie Headon of Summersdale Publishers
Social Media Marketing and Copy-editing Q&A for Writers with Katy Lassetter of Chichester Copywriter
Once Upon a Touch… the story behind an eBook that combines storytelling and positive touch with Mary Atkinson and Sandra Hooper

This is what one of last year’s writers had to say:
"I attended the last Chichester Copywriter's Writers’ Retreat in 2013. It was a wonderful experience, varied and inspirational. The mix of targeted writing sessions combined with the outdoor free session resulted in a very comfortable but stimulating environment. The piece of work I started there went on to become a runner up short story with the SWWJ [Society of Women Writers and Journalists]. I am forever grateful to Katy for giving me the opportunity to invent my character whose many thoughts and actions were inspired by the time I spent on the retreat." Caroline Auckland.
