Whether you are writing short fiction, a novel, or a work of creative non-fiction there is always a way in which your story will want best to be told. Acclaimed New Zealand author Elizabeth Knox (‘The Vintner’s Luck’), will support you to find a clear direction for your story – and, along the way, you’ll learn to become a shrewder, more flexible, confident and daring storyteller.

Where: Appleby House & Rabbit Island Huts, 305 Redwood Road, Richmond 7081

This creative writing retreat offers a period of intense concentration, outside your everyday life, with like-minded people who will read and discuss your work, as you read and discuss theirs – under the guidance of one of New Zealand’s most experienced authors. Elizabeth Knox has written best-selling novels, science fiction, young adult (YA) fiction and is also a highly acclaimed creative non-fiction author.

The weekend will also allow for one-on-one ‘story doctoring’ sessions with Elizabeth. The aim of the weekend is that everyone who attends will leave with a clear feeling for how to proceed with confidence, energy, and renewed engagement.

This retreat takes place near Nelson from 5-8 October 2018. Find out more at http://www.writeacrossnewzealand.com/elizabeth-knox-writing-retreat
