Are you a member of a writing group? Keen to decamp to Italy and focus on your craft? By popular demand I will be holding a FLASH FICTION WORKSHOP for small groups of 3-4 people at my place in the Italian countryside. This will involve a two morning flash fiction workouts (prompts/exercises/critique) and time in the afternoon to write. Evenings will be for sharing work and wining and dining. The aim of the workshop is to review your current work objectives and material, and to produce a submittable story (or three!) and discuss longer projects on the horizon. We will also cover resilience, submission strategies and editing. I have been leading Litro Magazine’s Flash Fiction Masterclasses for several years.

Optional: afternoon hiking trip to the nearby Colli Euganei/Euganei Hills for inspiration. Or perhaps a trip to nearby Venice (train transport and food not included).

If you are a writing group or a group of friends who would like to work intensely then this might be for you!

Or if you would like to join a group just write via the CONTACT page for possible dates.

We host from Sunday evening-Friday morning, and retreats/courses run from late May until September 2025. Onsite food and wine included, plus transport from Vicenza train station. CONTACT for more information and to discuss dates and prices.
