Why should you attend this writing retreat?
Consider this a gift to your writing practice. You'll get the time and space to write, think, reflect, collaborate, and learn alongside other creatives. Write pages by the pool, talk about plot details with your fellow writers at the beachside bar, or reflect on your work while strolling along the shore. This retreat will be a relaxing escape where you can immerse yourself in your writing, bond with your fellow writers, and create lifelong memories. How did this partnership come about?
Literary agent Jessica Sinsheimer and conference organizer, media professional, and writer Julie Kingsley are the creators of the Manuscript Academy. Liz Holden is the co-founder of Leaping Hound Travel. But Liz also writes fiction, and she got to know Julie and Jessica as a member of Manuscript Academy and a guest on their podcast. This collaboration was a perfect fit! |
Manuscript Academy membership is not required to attend the retreat! (But members save $150!)

Questions about accessibility? Though there is a fair amount of optional walking (around the grounds of the resort, on the beach, etc.), it is not required, and we are happy to work with you in advance and discuss the possibility of alternate arrangements if you need them. Need more time in Mexico? Want to extend your stay? If you are interested in adding days to your trip on either end, we would be happy to arrange and book things for you, for no additional service fee. |
