 "I will bask in the creative after glow of Wendy Goldman Rohm's writers' courses
for a long, long time. During my many years as a literary agent, I attended numerous 
writers conferences, but none of them came close to the extraordinary events for writers that 
Wendy presents.  Wendy, who is a best-selling author, is also a respected literary agent.  
She has the gift of inspiring writers to expand their visions and hone their crafts, and of 
sensibly instructing them how the publishing world works. To be under the spell 
​of Wendy's wise wand, and to be supportively surrounded by other 
writers who are working on their books or scripts, is to be richly nurtured
in the imaginative realms of words, stories, plots, themes, beliefs, characters, time, 
place and narrative voice. I return to my own writer's desk enlightened, enriched 
and energized. I am blessed by new friendships with fellow writers 
and am filled with gratitude for the grand literary dame
who brought us all together."
--Phoebe Larmore, literary agent to Margaret Atwood , Tom Robbins, and more.

About the
Saint-Tropez Writers Weekend​

Join us for a 3-day workshop and retreat by the Mediterranean. Story and manuscript development come alive at this acclaimed, professional workshop for authors of fiction and  nonfiction. We hold the Saint Tropez Writers Retreat  at our private villa by the sea. Develop your book, fine tune your manuscript, and perfect your writing in progress. Writers of all levels attend to generate new material, develop ideas, or shape their stories.

In addition to all the sessions described on the Schedule page, the conference includes continental breakfast and a "pitch-the-agent" session to present your story and explore its most powerful ingredients. For writers of fiction, nonfiction, memoir, plays and screenplays.

The Retreat is hosted by the Rohm Literary Agency and led by NY Times best-selling author and literary agent Wendy Goldman Rohm, who works with all the major book publishers as well as TV, film and podcast studios (see full list at www.TheRohmLiteraryAgency.com). Ms. Rohm's conferences have  been held since 2002 worldwide, originally inspired by the series of honorary Masters Teas she presented at Yale University. (See the Kirkus Reviews' spotlight on Wendy Goldman Rohm.)
 
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 2019 review.)

The conference includes all sessions,  continental breakfast and networking soiree in the evenings. There is an optional group dinner each evening. For the full conference schedule, see the Schedule page or write to us. See the Testimonials page for reviews from authors worldwide.
