Write With… A Weekend Hybrid Retreat That Accelerates Your Career AND Moves Your Script Forward
Two days.
One legendary film studio.
A room of serious writers.
And a mentor in your corner.
DATES IN 2026 | Ealing Film Studios, London | 14 places only.
Join our intimate group of writers for two full days of focused writing time, under the guidance of a successful tutor who’s been where you’re headed. Broken up with short, light touch and inspirational training, alongside one on one mentoring, our hybrid retreat approach will give you creative space, industry focus and story craft inspration in equal measure.
All of this experience is designed to move the needle dramatically closer to success for you.
What You Get
A guaranteed one-on-one consultation with the Write With Tutor.
Every writer on the retreat gets dedicated consultation time with the tutor, and you can use it your way. Take it as one deep-dive session, or break it into shorter check-ins across the weekend: talk through your outline on Saturday morning, then have another chat on Sunday with your new pages. Your consult, your call.
Two days of protected writing time at Ealing Studios.
Write on the lot, where over a century of British film history has been made.
Craft sessions with a master trainer.
Woven through the weekend, your leader will run short focused, light touch and practical training sessions that will elevate your writing, focus your career and improve your industry knowledge.
Saturday night socials.
When the laptops close, the conversation inevitably continues. Saturday evening immersion is for deeper connections that outlast the weekend.
