SHADOW ROAD WRITERS' RETREAT DAYS
Are you a writer in need of some time to focus on that script, novel, or idea that’s been nudging at you? Have you always wanted to write, but never quite known where to start - or had the time to do it? If so, why not join me for a gently structured, welcoming Writers’ Retreat Day, hosted by yours truly on the final Saturday of each month, at Shadow Road's cosy rehearsal studio in Barnes, South West London!
A published children's author and theatre professional, with over 15 years of experience writing and directing for performances across the UK, I have written numerous plays and adaptations for Shadow Road, as well as short film scripts, fundraising events, and works commissioned by other organisations such as the Barnes Literary Society, the London Wetland Centre, and the National Trust's Morden Hall Park and Ham House. I have also run writing workshops in both Richmond and Surrey, and provided dramaturgical help to playwrights and authors submitting work to the mixed arts mental health awareness festival, UNBROKEN.
Now I am delighted to open up the Shadow Road Studio for a day to writers of all kinds - playwrights, novelists, children's fiction, screenwriters, and more - offering space to develop your project, get words on the page, gain fresh perspective, and connect with fellow writers.
The day-long retreat will include:
- Quiet, focused time to work on your own writing project
- Optional creative exercises, including character work (my specialty!), writing prompts, and
- A short inspiration walk in the local churchyard
- Optional sharing of work with the group and gentle feedback
- Free tea, coffee, and biscuits!
There are only 5 tickets (£60 each) available for each retreat, so if you'd like one of them, do please book ASAP. A welcome pack with all the necessary information will then be emailed to you!
N.B. You can either bring your own lunch with you, or else pop out to get it from any of the nearby shops and cafes during the break!
