2021 Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat

Immerse yourself in writing and conversation this summer. There’s something for everyone – whether you’re new to writing, an established writer, or somewhere in-between.

Join us for the 2021 Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat and renew and recharge your writing and your life. The Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat is an immersive two-day gathering for writers, happening on the Kāpiti Coast. The retreat includes intensive morning workshops, lively afternoon discussions and space to write, relax and engage with topics critical to your work.

Writers Practice is delighted to host six contemporary New Zealand writers who will teach morning workshops: in fiction, essay, poetry, setting and choosing your own creative path. In the afternoons, they will lead discussions on topics pertinent to craft and literature in Aotearoa.

The Kāpiti Coast is the perfect place to ground yourself and your writing by the saltiness of the sea to the west, and the bird song from the canopy of native bush that covers its mountains to the east.

All writers are welcome, at whatever stage you are in your writing life. You’ll find community, encouragement and a safe place in which to take artistic risks.

Early bird rates apply until 31 December 2020.

Scholarship and volunteer opportunities are available. Register before 15 January 2021.
