Love the idea of a writing retreat but can't travel far or don't have the time? Don't worry. We've got you covered. The Story Retreat's Urban Retreat is a two-day workshop for writers of all levels at world-class bed and breakfasts inside major cities across the US.

​

The Urban Retreat features teaching, sharing, group work, discussion, and writing on the following topics: the universal story structure, character creations, tension building, setting development, dialog design, editing skills, and more​. Through idea exploration, game playing, and pairs exercises we'll work on your most important storytelling muscles together--and have a lot of fun doing it.

​

Dramatically improve your writing, professionalize your work, sharpen your storytelling, learn tons of story strategies that you can use right away, and meet other aspiring and published authors in the city. The Urban Retreat is a totally unique experience. It's also a gift that you give yourself. You've been talking about doing something like this for years. Here's your chance.

​

For our next retreat, we're absolutely thrilled to be working with The Swann Guest House, one of the single best bed and breakfasts on the East Coast, with breathtaking accommodation and five-star service. Come with a friend or family member and save! They've offered a special price for our workshop participants. The cost is $269 per room and only $49 for an extra guest. So two participants staying together would pay just over $150 each per night (plus the retreat registration fee).
