It was fascinating to be part of a diverse group of people who so quickly connected and communicated. There were some wondrous pieces of writing and it was a privilege and joy to see people’s confidence grow within such a short space of time.” —participant “You truly helped to kickstart me to put pen to paper and then, between months of nothing, to get going again. Many times. Your book and courses both helped. Your boundless passion and personal encouragement were infectious (that’s your real superpower).” —participant A HAVEN FOR STORIES (with Tobias Jones + Clare Pollard) 1-week Creative Writing Retreat in Italy, 17–24 October 2026 —booking now!
