A Sense of Time and of Place
A perfect blend for inspiration
Writescape has reserved Sir William Mackenzie Inn in Kirkfield, Ontario, for our fall retreat. This grand manor has offered hospitality to prime ministers and aristocrats since 1888. The Inn’s charming nooks and crannies, vaulted ceilings, polished woods and rumoured ghostly visits will ensure that all your senses will be in full use.
What writer could ask for more?
Writescape will give you more…a bestselling, internationally acclaimed and award-winning author of 9 novels, Susanna Kearsley.
Susanna will lead one of the Saturday morning workshops, focusing on the power of Time and Place in your writing. Winner of the Catherine Cookson award for Marianna, Susanna is a wonderful writing instructor.
Deftly evoking historical periods, from ancient Rome to Jacobean England to wartime Europe, Susanna’s novels weave rich, complex plots with compelling characters. There is always a secret to uncover and a mystery to solve.
Immerse yourself thoroughly in a combination of in-depth, hands-on workshops and personal reflection and writing time. Join in group readings and discussions; enjoy lively conversations during mealtimes and breaks.
Slip away for a quiet walk among the old trees and pathways surrounding the Inn, tuck yourself into a reading nook or indulge in a pre-booked spa visit (separate fee).
