Weeklong quiet writing retreat in the South of France with author and agent Sarah Bullen offering craft sessions and one-on-one feedback
Join author and literary agent Sarah Bullen for an immersive writing retreat in the southwest region of France to write
Join author and literary agent Sarah Bullen founder of The Writing Room for an immersive writing retreat in the picturesque South of France. Write your story, refine your manuscript, and develop a deeper understanding of structure, character, and the writing process, gathering inspiration from the rich history and atmosphere.
This is a quiet retreat. Yes, we will go on walks, take trips to the local markets, and spend a day in the Medieval town of Carcassonne, but this is really a quiet immersion with a week of writing.
We will have craft sessions in the morning and cover topics on how to refine your manuscript, and develop a deeper understanding of structure, character, and the writing process, - along with inspiration from the rich history and atmosphere.
We stay at a historic domaine outside Montréal in the Aude region, France - that's close to Carcassonne or Toulouse.

Set within a historic estate, this retreat offers daily discussions and writing sessions with Sarah, focusing on key techniques, industry insights, and one-on-one feedback.
Mornings begin with quiet writing time, while afternoons provide space to refine your work and explore advanced storytelling methods. Share meals and connect with fellow writers in a welcoming and supportive environment, leaving with new skills, fresh ideas, and a clear direction for your creative journey.
