Writers’ retreats in Herefordshire

Two-night retreats for writers in a Victorian manor house in one of the loveliest counties in England, offering practical advice, mentoring and inspiration

Meet your Writers Inc hosts

Writers Inc is held at the home of Jane Sanderson and Brian Viner who, as published authors of 14 books between them, will share their own experiences, help you find your writing voice and suggest techniques to keep your work on course.

Set in a Herefordshire manor house, this retreat is for anyone who believes they have a book in them, but isn’t sure how to begin. It’s for those who have started writing, only to lose the self-belief or energy to see it through. And it’s for anyone so inspired by reading that they want to take the plunge and start writing themselves.

A wonderful weekend spent in wonderful company. Between the two of them, Jane and Brian have a wealth of writing experience and numerous tips to share (not to mention encouragement), and are also wonderful and attentive hosts. If you are a beginner writer hesitating whether a retreat like this is for you - it is.

I am a changed person. Before the writer's retreat this last weekend, I thought there wasn't much chance of me actually being a writer. Now, after great encouragement, support, expert mentoring, good company, amazing warmth, not to mention food, drink and cocktails, I am also full of self belief that this will happen for me. Thank you Jane and Brian.

It’s hard to overestimate what a special weekend I had at Writers Inc. Fascinating, informative workshops with wonderful, warm hosts - both of whom are very experienced professional writers. It was brilliant to spend the weekend learning from them - and spending time with other aspiring writers in a truly beautiful setting. I left feeling very inspired - and very well-fed!! 🩷

A fabulous weekend spent in my home county of Herefordshire being inspired to write ..stop procrastinating and actually write. Jane and Brian being the best hosts in every aspect. Happily sharing their knowledge of writing and the whole writing and publishing process ..what to do and not to do and encouraging each of us to write and share. Jane also served us the most delicious home cooked meals and it really did feel like we were nurtured and cared for. The small group made for interesting conversations and connections which I hope will be long term. Writing a book is something I've dabbled at for many years but now finally feel able to see a published book in my future and that truly excites me. A great big heart felt thank you from me for the writers weekend.

Writers' Retreat in Herefordshire

A small group writing retreat with expert guidance

A two‑night writers’ weekend for a maximum of six guests, guided by Jane Sanderson and Brian Viner — published authors of 14 books between them — with tailored workshops in fiction and non‑fiction, and lots of practical help and advice.

Writers' Retreat in Herefordshire

A country‑house weekend that feeds body and soul

A fully-catered stay, with wonderful home-cooking and relaxed meals, time and space to write, optional assignments, and the kind of free‑flowing conversation that sparks creativity and inspiration.

Writers' Retreat in Herefordshire

Find confidence, clarity - and a circle of like-minded writers

You’ll go home with fresh insights into starting (and finishing) your book, a renewed sense of momentum, and the satisfaction of having found fellow travellers on the writing journey.

Straightforward advice, along with time and space to think and write, was what I needed.

“It was the encouragement to just get started that got me going, but also knowing that the hosts are keen to mentor us as we develop our stories and writing style. That in itself is invaluable – the retreat is not just a weekend but a longer-term commitment to guide us towards our ultimate aim.” SL
