The space, time and professional support you need to write your book.

Luxurious, spacious and privately-owned, Dean Manor is a retreat, education and training centre. It’s the place where you can create your dream publication in a productive yet peaceful way. You receive full access to our publishing services and specialists during your stay and receive luxury accommodation at the beautiful Macedon Hotel and Spa Resort.  

With no distractions from the outside world, our authors find that they achieve more in one weekend than they would in months, or perhaps years, if they were to attempt to write their book at home or in their work environment.

What Happens at the Dean Manor Writers’ Retreat?

Well, you just have to experience one to believe it.  As the saying goes – ‘You just had to be there.’

Each retreat is unique because we cater to the specific needs of the group. Our intimate group of extraordinary authors all come together with the common goal of becoming a published author, and we help them achieve just that. 

We help you plan, structure, write and set daily goals to maximise your time and get the most out your days. If you get stuck or need a bit of motivation or assistance, our expert team is there at your fingertips to get you moving in the right direction.

We also bring in an Expert Speaker at each retreat; we later uploaded the keynote speaker to our membership site so you can access it at any time in the future. We also keep providing you with the uploads from any previous or future speakers.

WRITERS' RETREAT EXPERIENCE

Gillian Gorrie

If I was to tell someone about this retreat I would say go for it. If you can manage it go for it because it’s one of the best things to build your confidence.

Jess Van Zeil

I have everything I’ve got the support I’ve got everything I need and it’s something that I know it’s going to be loved and nourished and cherished by everyone here and afterwards as well.

Sarifa Younes

When they published my book it’s only few weeks and it became the number one best-selling on Amazon in three categories and I would not be able to do that without their support.
