Your questions answered
Why attend a writing retreat?
In day-to-day life, it can often feel like there are not enough hours in the day to get your book written and it goes to the bottom of the list. You can feel frustrated, fed up and give up because it doesn't get the quality time it needs. When you join a writing retreat, you step away from the daily grind, you only need to focus on yourself and your goals for your book. A week in the peaceful Spanish countryside will give you guilt-free time and space to finally make your book happen.
You can explore and clarify your thoughts with one of our experienced book coaches, meaning that you’ll gain focus on the goal for your book and get insights into what you wish to create. You can get feedback on what you’re developing, so that you find your voice, create a solid blueprint, and uncover new easy-to-implement habits for when you return home.
And if you find yourself stuck, procrastinating or getting in your own way, we’ll help you to shift anything that’s preventing you from showing up as your very best self. So, you grow in confidence and belief in your message, and get absolute certainty that people want to read what you want to say.
Who is the writing retreat for?
The Librotas writing retreat is for experts, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are writing a non-fiction business building book or memoir.
When and where is the next writing retreat?
We will be confirming the details of our next writing retreat soon. Please register for the details or book a call via the link below. There are a maximum of six places available for this immersive experience.
We run the retreat at Casa Torreta Blanca in Partaloa, Southeast Spain, near Almeria. One of the sunniest regions in Spain and unspoiled by tourism, it is a beautiful place to explore the mountains and desert and only a 40-minute drive from the popular resort of Mojacar. Casa Torreta Blanca is a converted Spanish farmhouse with a private pool, sun-soaked terraces, and a jacuzzi spa that overlooks mountains in the stunning Almonzora Valley.
What's my investment?
Our early Bird Offer is £2900+VAT (normal price £3200+VAT). Pay in a single installment and get a free one-hour book mentoring call with Karen worth £300.
Or pay via five equal instalments of £580+VAT (early bird) or £640+VAT (normal price). The full balance needs to be paid four weeks before the retreat.

When you join us for the writing retreat, you're getting a seven-night fully inclusive break away with access to two high-level coaches who normally charge £1500 per day, plus the transformation you get from the process of making your book happen. Think of it as a holiday-feel with a purpose - that you can include on your tax return!

When should you attend a writing retreat?
The Librotas writing retreat is an immersive experience that will support you at any stage during your book journey. Whether you need facilitated time to get your ideas and thoughts clear, uninterrupted time to write or edit your book, or space to plan your launch or marketing activities.
If you’re in the early stages, we’ll do a deep dive into your thoughts and ideas and help you to create a blueprint that links firmly with your business goals and aspirations. If you’ve already got a plan, you’ll have plenty of time for high quality writing, plus the chance to get feedback and explore your process and stories.
If you’ve reached the first draft, then you’ll get help to finish and polish your manuscript, so that you create a marketable product with a solid launch plan. And if you've already published your book, we can help you to formulate your marketing and social media plan.
