Let’s take two days to write, research and reset. I’ve booked a glorious space in Hay Castle for us, nestled among the abundant bookshops and independent cafés of Hay-on-Wye. This is your invitation to join me, and devote yourself to your writing, for 48 hours in late November. We’ll get cosy while the winter lights twinkle outside. Our guest speakers include Helena Attlee, known for her Radio 4 Books Of The Week and as a Sunday Times Bestselling author. There’ll be optional yoga, delicious lunches and unique bookshop visits. And writing time. Plenty of writing time.
