Our writing retreats bring together creatives from around the world to collaborate, encourage each other, and share in the extraordinary experience of exploring Egypt.
Take your creative writing to the next level with a dedicated writing retreat in a destination that has inspired some of the most brilliant authors known worldwide. Find inspiration in Egypt amidst the astounding architecture, vibrant urban spaces, and jaw-dropping breadth of historical significance.
All of our courses are led by published authors, with years of experience as tutors and mentors. Not only will you receive expert advice on your writing, you’ll be able to ask questions about the ins and outs of the industry all whilst honing your writing skills.
In whatever stage you find yourself, a creative writing retreat in Egypt is sure to inspire that creative spark!
Give yourself the space and time needed to truly delve into your writing. The stresses of daily life too often distract us from the work of creating — this is your chance to dedicate a few days to developing your practical skills and pushing forward with your storytelling.
We’re planning new retreats for 2024 including poetry and contemporary fiction courses.
Let us know if you’re interested and you’ll be the first to know when we announce the next retreat dates and locations!
Jonathan Whitelaw is an author, award-winning journalist, and broadcaster.
After working on the frontline of Scottish politics, he moved into journalism. Subjects he has covered have varied from breaking news, the arts, culture, and sport to fashion, music, and even radioactive waste — with everything in between.
His latest novel, The Village Hall Vendetta (April 2023), is a follow-up to the bestselling Bingo Hall Detectives — a cosy crime series set in the Lake District with a son and mother-in-law detective duo. Two more novels from the series are due for release in 2024 and 2025.
Jonathan also regularly contributes to book events, festivals, conferences and podcasts – with appearances on the Bloody Scotland Book Club, Blood Brothers, Writer’s Routine and The Bestseller Experiment, among others.
