Writing retreat in Puglia<\/h1>\nA week in Italy to focus on your book or writing project<\/h3>\n<\/div>Six years ago, I fell in love with an old trullo and an olive grove in Puglia. After buying them, I also lost my heart to the town of Ceglie Messapica. This special region offers peace, space, and authentic Southern Italian life: a wonderful setting to step away from everyday distractions and finally focus on the writing project that deserves your attention. Most participants come to work on a book, but you can also use the week for your website, articles, blogs, social media content or another substantial writing project. You will receive as much one-on-one guidance and personal feedback as you need. Everything is taken care of, including delicious Italian meals with regional specialties and short excursions.<\/p>\n
\n\nWhat you can achieve during this writing retreat<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIn just one week, you can make enormous progress because you finally have the time, focus and guidance to work without everyday distractions. You may arrive with the first idea for a book, an unfinished manuscript, a website that needs rewriting, a series of articles or blogs, social media content you want to create, or another writing project. I meet you wherever you are and help you move your project forward.<\/p>\n

A writing retreat for everyone<\/h2>\n
During the more than 40 writing retreats<\/a> I have organized, I have helped hundreds of CEOs, entrepreneurs, writers and aspiring writers turn ideas into books, improve concepts, finish manuscripts and make enormous progress in just one week. The same focus and practical approach also works for other substantial writing projects. You don’t need to call yourself a writer. Maybe you want to write a book, finally rewrite your website, create articles or social media content, or tackle another writing project that keeps getting pushed aside. You just need something important you finally want to get written.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"Writing](\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/puglia-0380-v2.jpg\" "\\"puglia-0380-v2\\"")
