If there's a writer on your holiday list, what could be more appreciated than the gift of a week filled with dedicated writing time – plus coaching and direction from a pro? Add a charming Paris location and guided exploration of the city's famed literary haunts to the mix and you've got the Left Bank Writers Retreat, a small-group writing workshop in Paris, France. Hosted by award-winning Jackson Hole-based writer Darla Worden, the workshop debuts June 20-26, 2010 and includes guided writing time in the mornings and exclusive Paris excursions in the afternoons.
"The retreat is designed for writers of all levels looking for inspiration and a change of scenery," Worden says. "Writers will explore Paris's deep literary roots while delving into their own work in a salon setting." The retreat is limited to six writers, and includes lunch each day, admission to museums and area sights, a wine tasting and literary tour.
Worden is an author who has written more than 100 magazine articles about art, architecture and travel in publications like Mountain Living, Big Sky Journal and Log & Timber Style. Author of the book club-selected novel Road Shoes and co-author of The Rusty Parrot Cookbook (Gibbs Smith, 2009), she also teaches writing classes and pens the popular blog 60,000 Mile Ticket to Paris. The cost of the six-day Left Bank Writers Retreat is $1,799 and includes morning writing sessions, coaching and one-on-one time with the instructor, daily lunch, and admission fees for the afternoon excursions. An optional Versailles tour is offered on June 26 for an additional $225. Writers arrange their own lodging and transportation to Paris, and can reserve a spot in the retreat with a $100 deposit. A personalized gift certificate is available for holiday gifts of any denomination.
