WRITE. LEARN. CONNECT.
Discover the Power of Words with Lori Hayes
A 5-day coastal writing retreat for women ready to finally make progress on their manuscripts, whether you’re stuck in the middle of a manuscript or just starting.
Imagine, salt air, slow mornings, and uninterrupted writing time near the ocean with canal views.
👉 Writing Meets Island Life | Ocean Isle Beach, NC
Why I host writing retreats
I love helping writers finish their manuscripts because I’ve been there myself, and I’m grateful to the authors who once guided me.
Writing can feel lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. I've created a welcoming space where community and creativity can grow together, so you can focus, connect, and feel encouraged.
Escape to island life to work on your beloved book, to learn, to relax into writing
