Writers' Retreat In Goa

DraftCraft International is organising Residential Retreats in Goa for Writers, Photographers / Film-makers and Single Women during the Goa Programme. The Residential Retreats will be conducted by experts in specific areas with carefully-curated sessions, exercise-based workshops and learning activities. And, what better place to host the retreats than Goa which offers the perfect venue, rejuvenating, inspiring and invigorating, to unwind, explore your hidden talents and get in touch with your creative side!

So, you want to write a book? Start a blog of your own? Or embark on a career of travel writing? Come...sign up for the five-day Writers' Retreat in Goa offered by DraftCraft International. Here, you get to attend training sessions and mentoring by a senior editor and his team at informal, intensive sessions held in the open in Goa. A session could be held at the bohemian Arambol Beach in the night; at a UNESCO World Heritage Site like the steps of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception; against the backdrop of the historic St Augustine Tower in Old Goa; on a barge while sipping on wine along Tiracol River and more through the five-day programme. You are guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing, conceptualise your works, break free of blocks and pen down your first draft for publication.
