Make it Your Time!

Writing a book is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling achievements, whether it is non fiction, a novel or a collection of poems. Whether you want to connect with memory and write about your own story, or you have expertise that you want to communicate to the world.

 

This is your opportunity to dedicate time to focus, write, reconnect with your inner voice and take your work to the next level. We have created this space for you, to support you in this journey over 8 days/7 nights in a paradise of calmness and natural beauty.

​

Our Infinite Blue Writers Retreat (IBWR) takes place just outside of the small coastal town of Paleros Bay in the Ionian Sea. You’ll stay in most unique, environmentally friendly, private suites overlooking the infinite blue of the sea that inspired Homer.

 

You will invest in your inner calmness and inspiration to:

​

  • engage in writing exercises

  • learn about the craft of writing

  • understand publishing avenues

  • share your work with peers for insightful reviews

  • receive private mentoring that meets your individual aspirations

  • take your work to its next level

The IBWR is for both aspiring writers and established authors alike:

  • If you have an idea for a book and you don't know how to start.

  • If you have progressed a book and you are looking for feedback, reviews, contacts.
