Secluded Writer's Haven in the Core of the Karoo Desert
**"Hey there! Here's a delightful tale I've got to share with ya! Back in December 2024, our fearless founder held a three-day retreat with the fantastic duo, Michele Marais and Nicholas. It was bloomin' inspiring!
Now, let me tell you about Jordyn Lee Bird, one of our grateful participants. She sent us this heartfelt email:
'Bloody 'ell, I've gotta tell you, the time you spent teaching me how to craft my tale - story and novel alike - was bloody brilliant. The workshop was fan-bloody-tastic, and I'll be forever grateful for your expertise. Plus, Prince Albert was a darling little town that I'll miss like a limb. Cheers, mate!'
And it wasn't just Jordyn who found this workshop a bloody marvel. Anthea Pretorius, another participant, had this say:
'Blimey, the course was a game-changer and an eye-opener! It ignited a fire within me to write with more discipline and heart. Now, with a road map and a plan in hand, scriptwriting, once a daunting task, seems less intimidating than before. And let's not forget Daniel, who edits manuscripts with a flair that goes way beyond grammar corrections - offering pointers, insights, and wise advice aplenty. I can't recommend this course highly enough!' (Sept 2022)
