Go and Write! London and the Cotswolds writing retreat, April 10-20, 2023

Join award-winning authors Dr. Gerard Collins and Jane Simpson on a small group, 11-day writing retreat in London and the Cotswolds, April 10-20.

With only eight rooms available in total, space is very limited on this 11-day retreat, where you can enjoy the blooming warmth of an English spring before the tourist season begins. In London, we'll stay at the Mad Hatter Hotel near ancient pubs where Dickens, Johnson, Twain, Yeats, Tennyson, and Orwell visited, wrote, and set stories. Then, it’s off to the Cotswolds and the luxurious Abbots Grange manor house, built in 1320 and voted the best B&B in Britain.

This intimate retreat is built for writers of all genres and experience levels, and as writers themselves, Jane and Gerard get it: writers want a thoughtful blend of plenty of alone time for writing as well as literary-focused short tours and group readings and workshops, and that’s how they structure Go and Write! retreats.

Based in New Brunswick, Gerard and Jane have been hosting writing retreats since 2016. Gerard, originally from Newfoundland, has won and been nominated for many awards and has taught university English literature for over two decades – he will conduct workshops and meet with you one-on-one to discuss your writing. Jane, a graduate of the UNB’s English Honours program, is the chief administrator for Go and Write! and is, herself, an award-winning fiction writer and poet.

Costs start at $4,995 CAD, and there are three rooms left at the time of this announcement. Visit goandwrite.ca/london-cotswolds-spring-2023 for more information and to register, or contact Gerard at gerardcollins@geradcollins.ca or Jane at janiegoandwrite@gmail.com.
