Writers' Retreat Italy 2025 - 21st - 28th June

Amy is a PhD candidate with a Master's in Creative & Critical Writing and a BA in English Literature.

After starting Scott Editorial in 2016, she has helped 100s of writers grow and develop their craft. During group workshop sessions, Amy offers professional editor support, covering topics such as:

• How to write the perfect first line/paragraph.
• Character arcs and story arcs.
• When to show and when to tell.
• Narrative and dialogue structure.
• Genre rules.
• Scene setting.

This is your opportunity to sit down with an experienced editor and writer to brainstorm or gather valuable feedback on your story.

You will also be around other likeminded writers ready to swarm you with ideas and encourage you to push your writing to the next level.

Finding time to write can be hard. Finding somewhere peaceful to write, even harder. Not only will you find all that in this idyllic Italian town, but around an array of colorful, friendly characters, the inspiration to expand your story into more than you ever thought it could be.

The stunning village of Pontelandolfo is the perfect place to write, explore, eat, drink, and soak up the Italian charm.

Sitting beautifully in the Sannio Hills, Pontelandolfo is approximately halfway between Naples and Campobasso.

Away from the tourist traps, here you will experience the real Italy that is overflowing with history, culinary delights, and views to take your breath away.

Those who write together, stay together.

We hope that over the course of the week you will find a lifelong writing buddy.
