Testimonials

For someone who writes every single day, this course was a breath of fresh air.

I was able to overcome writer's block and personal impostor's syndrome regarding topics outside my regular tasks, successfully writing a difficult and personal essay in 2 days. The different timings and Joana's guidance throughout the days were extremely helpful in helping me focus the topic, thus transforming a rather hazy idea into a structured argument over a particular aspect of my original idea.

Joana's courageous approach to writing has been an inspiration and a much-needed support for my own work.

has been an inspiration and a much-needed support for my own work. She methodically leads by example so that challenges, for example major edits, can be successfully achieved. Writing in one of her groups for 18 months played a crucial role in the completion of my first book.

What I take from this retreat is to put aside my anxiety and stop thinking ‘start writing’, by gaining the motivation to start doing my corrections.

The discipline of dedicated writing time helped me to achieve my goal of getting the corrections of two major chapters done.

Posso dizer que o retiro teve um grande impacto em toda a minha vida (não, não estou a exagerar!)

fazendo-me refletir sobre aspetos comportamentais que nunca teria abordado de forma tão eficiente, aspetos na sua maioria verdadeiramente simples mas com grande impacto na nossa forma de ser e pensar. O processo de auto-análise foi bastante revelador das minhas limitações, dos meus erros, e do que tenho que fazer para mudar.

I sincerely hope to keep my attendance at these writing retreats as they have been transformational for my productivity and wellbeing.

Feel free to quote me when I say that your writing retreats are the best I have attended thus far.

I wish I had this retreat 10 years ago to structure my way of writing up front, and not have to deal with error after error.

The most important feature of the retreat is self-empowerment for us to be able to control the problems/events that just happen in our lives and that affect our way of working. Small actions with great results are key to developing a sustainable and healthy way of writing/working. Thank you Joana!
