SUMMARY:Edinburgh Writers’ Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The best one-day writing retreat in brilliant Edinburgh\nSometi
 mes what you really need is simple: time\, space and a whole load of tea a
 nd biscuits to get writing. Well\, it just so happens that’s exactly wha
 t happens at a Writers’ HQ writers’ retreat. Because\, look\, we get i
 t. We have the same writerly problem. We make the grandest of plans – Bo
 oker Prize winning plans! Pulitzer winning plans! – but life gets in the
  way. There’s always one more thing to do\, or one more stupid thing to 
 look at on the Internet. Before you know it\, it’s gone midnight\, you
 ’re sitting in your pants eating Dairy Milk\, and you’ve written 25 wo
 rds. Ugh. That’s why we developed our writing retreats\, in which we tur
 n off the wifi and make you get on with it. We help you set a writing targ
 et for the day\, ply you with caffeine\, cake\, and gold stars\, and keep 
 you pepped up and motivated all day long. All you have to do is\, uh… wr
 ite. Our (in)famous writing retreats were born in Brighton all the way bac
 k in 2012 and have since spread across the UK. You’ll find a whole range
  of writers here — from novelists to short fictioneers\, screenwriters t
 o poets\, academics to journallers. Everyone is welcome. So c’mon down a
 nd let us help you. Because the only way to get your writing done is to si
 t down and write.\nDirections\nThe venue is just off the high street and t
 here is on-street parking. A range of buses also run to Portobello from th
 e centre of Edinburgh (services 26\, 45\, 15 and 49) and from East Lothian
 . The nearest train station is Brunstane which is a 15 min walk away and h
 as regular services to Waverley station (8 mins to city centre). There is 
 also a new service from Brunstane to the Borders.\nAccessibility\nTribe Po
 rty has level and step-free access throughout\, and an accessible disabled
  toilet. The walls and the doors have high colour contrast and there is go
 od lighting throughout. We can also cater for dietary requirements. If you
  have any additional needs\, please let us know when you book or email hel
 p@writershq.co.uk and we’ll do everything we can do help.\nAnything else
 ?\nWriters’ HQ retreats are strictly no sharing events! We want you to f
 ocus on writing your story instead of getting anxious about other people r
 eading it. There is no workshopping or taught element to the retreats. It
 ’s just about the writing. For more writing resources\, check out our aw
 esome range of online writing courses.
