SUCCESS STORIES AND TESTIMONIALS

KERRY WILLIAMS

Now represented by top literary agent Madeleine Milburn.

Kerry has been with us right from the very start! She was a regular attendee of our Ink and Brew events, where she spent time writing parts of her manuscript that recently helped her to sign with a literary agent.

"Secret Writing Retreats were very much part of my journey in giving me time and space to write."

LIAM BROWN

Award winning author of 5 novels including Evergreens, Broadcast and Skin.

“The Secret Writing Retreat was a godsend.

It gave me the time and space I needed to really get my head into my book.

 

No thinking about meal prep or childcare or other domestic diversions, just hours of productive work surrounded by nice people in a calm, quiet environment. Bliss!”​​
