Led by leading authors, literary agents and creative editors, attendees will benefit from daily writing workshops, critiques of retreat assignments, and focused one-on-one critique and discussion sessions on one of their works-in-progress. Enjoy hands-on tutoring from published authors and lively literary discussions in the splendour of our nineteenth century Chateau in the Loire. Acceptance on our retreats is not just on a first-come, first-served basis but also subject to vetting via a pre-camp questionnaire and discussion with our team.

Explore your creativity in the unique setting that is Chateau de la Motte Henry - cut off from the world and all its stresses, immersed in nature and surrounded by wildlife.  In the tranquility of our Chateau and the surrounding wonders of the Loire, you will stay in luxurious, boutique style accommodation and enjoy delicious homemade food. There will be plenty of time to focus on your own work, relax in our grounds and explore the charm, beauty and heritage of the Pays de la Loire.
