Let me share what some past participants have told me
These words from fellow writers mean everything to me:
“I had high expectations for this retreat, and it was so much more than I’d hoped. From planning to execution, it was relaxing, productive, interesting, inclusive and affirming. The dedicated time, with Meg as host and workshop leader was a privilege. It allowed me to reconnect with my writing practice and my work in progress.”
Melissa Manning has become like family – she’s been to half of all my retreats and continues to block out time in her calendar because she knows these experiences give her exactly what her writing needs.
“The combination of structured workshops and time to write made for a really productive four days. The whole retreat was a joy.”
– Mira Robertson, Screenwriter & Novelist
“I attended Retreat with Meg because I wanted to reignite my joy in writing. It was a bit like magic… I’d fallen in love with my story again. The whole experience was carefully considered – everything worked together to create a safe, warm, creative space.”
– Susan Green, Award-winning Author
