‘Every part of it was just right. A real treat for all the senses.’

Every year I teach at least two non-fiction writing retreats, ranging from one day ‘Writing in Nature’ courses to five-day Arvon retreats. I also teach weekend (and longer) courses with my good pal Lois Pryce, author and adventurer extraordinnaire. We love teaching together and - from the feedback we’ve had - seem to be doing something right! In 2025 we will be running a VERY exciting retreat in a VERY special place - details to be announced soon.

I also offer 1-1 online writing tutorials. If you’re interested in booking one of these please drop me a line here.

Here are what a few people have said about mine and Lois’ retreats.

Thank you both so much for organising it and giving us all so much inspiration – both in the writing, and the walking in beautiful Wales.

A really wonderful weekend, thank you Lois and Ants and Anna for everything you put in to make it such a joy. Lovely to meet everyone too and what weather!

Thank you for a weekend to be remembered and inspired by words, food and lives. A joy to meet you all and our amazing hosts Ants and Lois.

Every part of it was just right. A real treat for all the senses.  

Thank you for a hosting wonderfully inspirational weekend. I felt like I came away with not only the tools but also the motivation to get my book underway.

I want to thank you both for such an incredible time. I feel empowered.

I could not go to bed without taking the time to thank you both for a truly life-changing weekend. I am bowled over by your generosity of time and spirit, your skill in creating such a safe place for us to explore ourselves, and your permission for us to enhance our writing by exposing our vulnerabilities. I feel very privileged to have been part of the course.
