Writing Holidays and Events

Rosanna Ley’s writing holidays take place at stunning locations such as the Finca el Cerrillo - a 200 year old farmhouse situated close to the traditional Andalucian village of Canillas de Albaida, high in the foothills of the Sierra Almijara, Southern Spain. The Finca was a working olive mill until the mid 1960s and has been carefully restored to preserve the charm and character of old Andalucia whilst providing the modern comforts and excellent cuisine of a small and charming hotel. The course is ideal for those working on a writing project and needing some uninterrupted writing time in an inspirational setting in order to focus and get some editorial feedback, and also for writers who are looking for the motivation or ideas to begin a writing project. The groups are a maximum of 12 and meet in the morning for writing motivation exercises designed not only to source new ideas but also to develop more depth in existing work. Every day there is a particular theme and writing issue but participants are also invited to bring their own ‘writing problems’ to the table… Late afternoon the group meets together (in the shade of the carob tree on the terrace!) to share work, get constructive feedback and discuss writing issues that have emerged during the day. The rest of the time is free for individual writing and Rosanna is available to read and appraise work and discuss it on an individual basis during the week. Rosanna's next writing holiday will take place at the finca 11-18th July 2013. Email Rosanna for brochure.
