18 – 22 November  ·  Mussoorie  ·  Writing Retreat

Five days to write
what you've been

The time. The place.
The readers.

Pine and oak overhead, streams threading through the land, monsoon clouds heavy in the valleys. This retreat is built for people who need dedicated time and a room full of close readers. Over five unhurried days you'll write more, and be read more closely, than you have in years.

A story, an essay, a stalled manuscript, or nothing but the will to start one: you're welcome here.
