SAVE THE DATE

It’s time to take your writing to the next level!

You got down on bended knee and begged — now we’ve set the date! Circle your calendars for  FRIDAY APRIL 24, 2026 (evening)- SUNDAY APRIL 26, 2026.


This happy event will include a bumper program of informative small-group writing workshop sessions, and one on one career discussions. Tailored to romance writers, taught by romance writers, this is a genre specific event curated to send you home inspired, motivated and poised to succeed.


This writing retreat offers exclusive access to four bestselling authors. You’ll master craft concepts that will make your story shine,  have ample time to work through your plot problems, career goals, and any other pinch points, as well as the chance to work on your manuscript in a positive, supportive and truly stunning environment. 


In glorious Yandina, Sunshine Coast, there will be two attendance levels available. Scroll down for inclusions and to complete the EOI form.

Day Trippers

Day Trippers will be welcome for Friday night mingle drinks and full day sessions Saturday and Sunday (lunch and snacks included during the program—off-site accommodation available to suit a range of budgets). 


The Complete Package

The Complete Package is restricted to a select few owing to limited spaces (we love an only-one-bed trope!) but this will include all of the above, as well as breakfast (Saturday and Sunday) and dinner (Friday and Saturday). It will also include exclusive access to your writing coaches for evening fun (think movie nights, quizzes, etc!). 


Nuts & Bolts

Completing the EOI does not guarantee acceptance or commit you to attending. Please let us know if you want to be a part of our HEA, and we’ll get in touch with more information. 


Please provide as much information below about your preferences, including whether you would like to attend as a day tripper or complete package participant.
