Writing Escapes

Writing Escapes developed out of my own love of writing, a desire for connection with others of a like mind, and general frustration over the cost of attending retreats.

What is a Writing Escape?

At Delaney’s Compound a Writing Escape is a self-led experience. There are no teachers, no workshops, and no set itinerary. It’s not fancy. There’s no caterer, no housekeeping services, no concierge, and no silent acres of pristine wilderness. It’s not perfect and there are no guarantees.

What you get is what you take away from it.

This simple escape is designed to get you out of your house and away from responsibilities and distractions. It’s an affordable opportunity to get your butt in the chair and keep it there. Unless, of course, you’d like a distraction.

In that case we’ll call it inspiration!

And we’ve got lots of that…

Take a look at the list on the Delaney’s Compound page.

 How does it work? 

For solo writers: An opportunity to spend solitary time focused on your project!

To book a Solo Writing Escape begin by looking through the accommodation options on the Delaney’s Compound page.

Next come up with a couple of possible time frames that would work best for you. Add any questions you might have and reach out using the contact me form.

I’ll respond via email and we’ll follow-up with a phone call before confirming your specific dates and accommodations.

Please Note:

I do ask that each guest offer a pay-what-you-can donation, but barter options are available so that no one is turned away due to financial hardship.

For small groups: A chance to get off-line and gather your cohorts in the flesh!

At present Delaney’s Compound can accommodate up to 3-4 writers (eventually we hope to expand to a total of 6). This option includes combining the Guest House, Studio, and Vintage Trailer.

For a group of 3 each writer would have their own bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and writing space. For a group of 4 each writer would have their own bathroom, bedroom and writing space, but two of the guests would share a kitchen.
