Writing retreat in Majorca
Write your book in one week on the magical island of Majorca
I would like to invite you to our writers’ villa in Sineu (pronounced see-nay-you), an authentic village in the quiet center of this magical island. It is a place where time seems to have stood still. A wonderful place to really get away, to be completely pampered, to write your book without any distractions.
Results you can achieve in 1 week
In just 1 week, you will make huge steps with writing your book. You will return home with a much-improved version. Whether you are in the finalization phase of your manuscript or are still at the very beginning, I will give you the guidance you need at the perfect moment. Results you can achieve in 1 week are:
- Inspiration and personal feedback to improve your manuscript
- Write the back cover and bring structure to your book
- Make huge progress with your book or even finish it
- Overcoming any possible writer’s block

This is a writing week for everyone
During the previous 20+ writing weeks, I’ve helped hundreds of CEOs, entrepreneurs, other writers, and aspiring writers to write their books, improve their book concepts, finish their manuscripts, or even complete their book in one week. Read more about achieved results and examples on the general writing-retreat page.

Program
An abundance of inspiration and time to focus on your book
This week is all about writing. Still, you have plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy our village Sineu, in Mallorca. We will also go on different short excursions to explore the authentic character of this magical island.
An ideal balance of work and leisure
The retreat follows a fixed rhythm. After a scrumptious sit-down breakfast, there is a writing workshop on a theme that you can immediately apply. Tasty light lunches are severed to reenergize you so that you can focus on your writing project without a drip. Whenever you need one-on-one guidance, I am available.
Towards late afternoon or evening, we will take a walk, go for a swim, and be surprised by the array of Majorca culinary delights. This writer’s retreat is therefore an ideal combination of maximum writing time and still seeing the beauty of this island.
Recipe book with delicious and nutritional meals (video)
During one of my writing retreats in Majorca, I wrote the recipe book ‘Writer’s Recipes’. Inspired by my yoga teacher Susana, who serves tasty and light lunches for the participants of the retreat.
Daily themes and writing workshops
Day 1. Welcome dinner where all writers introduce themselves and share their book idea. We’ll also decide on the details of the program together, which includes the different excursions.
Day 2. Workshop back cover writing. Why is it so important, and how do you do it?
Day 3. Structure workshop. I discuss the outlining and the writing process and provide useful tips for making your writing process more efficient.
Day 4. Your title, subtitle, and book cover. How do you choose a good cover? My designer will create a concept for you!
Day 5. Workshop how do you promote your book? Advice on how to do this your way, without being too pushy. Many practical examples for social media.
Day 6. Q&A session for all outstanding questions.
Day 7. The last evening there is an official closing with a festive dinner, where everyone reads a part from their book.
Day 8. You can still write on the last day, but there is no more workshop or guidance.
