What People Are Saying
“This retreat was the highlight of the year for me as a writer and a reader. Taylor made me feel incredibly welcome, the location was beautiful, and it was so easy to connect with the other attendees. I found it to be the perfect balance between productive writing time, peaceful reading time, and delightful connection with other creative, thoughtful humans. I flew in from Texas and it was one of the highlights of the decade for me! Go do this if you can!”
-Hannah B.“I’ve made genuine connections that I still maintain today. I’ve met some of my favorite people on this trip who have in turn become my best friends.”
-mACY a.“Taylor hosted one of my first writer's retreats and I had SO much fun! Not only was it a great opportunity to get feedback and time away from the hustle and bustle to make PROGRESS on my writing, but I also really reconnected with myself! Taylor took time and effort to curate a group, meals and activities that didn't feel forced but allowed us to enjoy the scenery, each other, and most importantly, our community. Great opportunity for writers at any stage.”
