Ten days, ten writers, private cabins and a hard rule that nobody speaks before four o'clock.
Silence until four. That single rule is why writers come back. Mornings and early afternoons belong entirely to the work, in your own cabin, with breakfast and lunch left outside the door so the day is never broken.
At four the house opens: workshop on alternate days, one-to-one manuscript sessions on the others, then dinner and whatever the evening becomes. Ten writers is small enough that everyone's work gets real attention.
Open to any form — novel, memoir, screenplay, essay collection — with a project already underway. Send a page with your application.
