The 2023 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.

The Kāpiti Writers’ Retreat is happening from 24 -26 February 2023 on the beautiful Kāpiti Coast north of Wellington. This three-day gathering for writers encompasses intensive morning workshops, lively discussions, and space to write, relax and engage with topics critical to your work.

Writers Practice is delighted to host leading writers from across Aotearoa – Catherine Chidgey, Coco Solid, Gem Wilder Rebecca Priestley, Sinead Overbye, and Therese Lloyd – at the 2023 Kāpiti Writers' Retreat.

Each writer will teach morning workshops: in fiction, poetry, essay, and responding to our current reality. In the afternoons, they will lead discussions on topics pertinent to craft and literature in Aotearoa.

You'll find community, encouragement, and a safe place in which to take artistic risks.
