Join us on Whidbey Island April 24-27, 2025, for a Writers Retreat you’ll always remember!
Set on 3 acres of wandering
property with a giant pond and outdoor fire pit, the house where
you’ll stay is 5,0000 square feet of gathering spaces, cozy writing nooks,
fireplaces and sumptuous bedroom suites to guarantee your every need
will be met while you create. With 8 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, there’s room
for everyone.
If you’re one of the lucky few to attend the Whidbey Island Screenwriters’ Retreat, that is!
You choose your own degree of privacy and seclusion. Book a King Bed suite with fireplace, full bathroom and view, or book a bed in a shared bedroom with shared bathroom for a lower rate.
Retreat Costs $900 - $600 Each Attendee
Catered meals around the 14-person country table as well as optional workshops on writing and marketing will give the focused writer periodic breaks to recharge and network. Workshops on Script Dialogue by The Editor Devil and from Script to Distribution by a Guest Speaker will have you inspired to finish your screenplay and get it filmed, if not film it yourself.
An optional visit to the historic seaside village of Langley for browsing shops, galleries, whale museum and wine tasting room is part of the fun. Seal and whale watch from downtown Langley while sipping a local merlot. Or head off for a craft cocktail break to the Skein and Tipple, a yarn shop by day and English pub by night!
