Let’s Go Write

Creative Writing Workshops and Retreats

Exotic locations, experienced teachers, convivial environment

Why Go Write?

Let’s Go Write offers creative writing workshops in the south of France during the month of September, England in May, and throughout the year in Portland, Oregon and around the Pacific Northwest. We're always dreaming up new locations for our story writing workshops! Experienced teachers provide inspiration, motivation, community spirit, and clear instruction. And most of all–time to write and learn more about writing in a convivial, nourishing environment. The small size of our writing courses guarantees individual attention.

Are you interested in creative writing? One of our writing workshops might be exactly what you need! Join Debbie and Charlotte, experienced, supportive, and knowledgeable teachers, for writing classes that just might change your writing life. We focus on creative writing of all stripes, including fiction (short story and novel writing) and nonfiction (essay and memoir writing).

Do you:

  • long to escape your daily life for time to write?

  • desire to learn more about the craft of creative writing?

  • seek writing inspiration?

  • know your writing flourishes with guidance?

Are you:

  • just getting started writing?

  • an experienced writer aiming for the next level?

  • longing to find a congenial writing community?

  • desiring to make a lasting commitment to your writing?

  • "The encouragement and camaraderie of a group of aspiring writers; the guidance and support of two experienced workshop leaders; and all of this in a beautiful small city full of warmth and charm, with stories of its own going back over many centuries. Creativity, fun, and fulfillment--what more could you want? This will be my fourth year with Debbie and Charlotte in Wells and I can't wait to get back there."

    Jenni Gainsborough

  • "There is the romantic notion of being a writer, and then there is the actual writing. Real writers write. The dream and the reality. On a whim after retiring I signed up for a few Let's Go Write workshops. With input from Debbie, Charlotte, and fellow students I am now a real writer. I write and I'm getting better at it. Let's Go Write will help you explore unique places in the world and in your creative endeavors. I have found my tribe."

  • "Let's Go Write has changed my life. Because of the work I have done with Charlotte and Debbie, I see the world through different eyes; wondering what I should write about next."

    Marna Hopkins

  • "When Debbie and Charlotte say their workshops will Feed Your Muse, they are not kidding. I am now brimming with energy and new ideas, have submitted my first fiction short story for publication, and am planning on attending more of their workshops next year."

    DeAnn Liska

  • "Charlotte and Debbie choose marvelous locations with lovely accommodations, and they always provide interesting and useful exercises and information to revive the lucky participants' writing. If you get the chance to join them, my wholehearted advice is: take it!"

    Shari Lane

  • "I went to my first retreat with Let's Go Write while struggling to write my first novel. I started out green, long on ambition and short on skill. I've attended many workshops since; I keep coming back because Debbie and Charlotte (and my fellow attendees) have taught me so much and made me a better writer in ways I never knew I needed."
