Join us at the Carlton Club in the heart of London for this acclaimed 5-day conference for authors of nonfiction and fiction, memoir, screenplays and plays. Develop your book, fine tune your manuscript, start something new, or perfect your writing in progress. Writers attend to generate new material, develop ideas, or shape their stories. The London Writers Retreat is hosted by the Rohm Literary Agency and led by NY Times best-selling author and literary agent Wendy Goldman Rohm. Ms. Rohm's conferences have been held since 2002 worldwide, originally inspired by the series of honorary Masters Teas she presented at Yale University.

At the conference, participating writers are guided through the creation process, fine tuning and perfecting their work--from the seed of an idea to a high-quality draft. (See Lonely Planet's review of Ms. Rohm's retreats.) The conference includes all sessions for five days and continental breakfast each morning. There is an optional networking soiree and group dinner each evening. For the full conference schedule, see the Schedule page or write to us.
