​The Power of Pause
A Day-Long, Online Writing Retreat for Scholars​

REGISTER NOW
This online writing retreat is your chance to experience the power of social writing. Step into our protected writing space, with a community of scholars, and the support of an expert writing coach.

This Retreat is for You If:

  • You're a scholar who craves uninterrupted time to read, write, and think
  • You yearn to reconnect with neglected writing projects
  • You want to feel good about your writing, instead of tapped out and terrified 
  • You're simply tired of writing in unsupported, uninspiring isolation
  • Have heard about social or retreat writing and are wondering: "What's all the fuss about?"​​
"This retreat kickstarted a week of joyful time with my writing, and I was able to finally submit an overdue article on Friday. Thank you so much for your approach to writing, Michelle!"

"The retreat I participated in this summer was so productive. It gave me a safe space to face a paper I had been avoiding...for months. I managed to draft it and was easily able to finish writing it over the summer!"

Why Attend This Retreat?


When you participate in this retreat, you will:​
  • Actually enjoy your writing time, because you learn best practices for calm, focused writing.
  • Finally understand that you're not alone, because you'll connect with other scholars who face exactly the same fears and barriers you do.
  • Make serious progress on your manuscript--without scolding, criticizing, or terrifying yourself.
  • Learn how you can make meaningful, measurable progress--every time you write.​

See for yourself what it's like to experience both pleasure and progress when you write in the company of others.
