The Sulit Press Annual Writer’s Retreat

California Wine Country | A Sanctuary for Women Who Write

October 22-26, 2025

(4 nights, plus 3 FULL days to write)

Escape to the rolling hills and golden light of California Wine Country, where creativity and calm meet in perfect harmony. At the Sulit Press Annual Writer’s Retreat, you’re invited to set down the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in a long weekend devoted to your craft, your peace, and your joy.

Nestled in a beautifully restored farmhouse filled with antiques and charm, you’ll find quiet corners for writing, cozy nooks for reflection, and wide-open spaces for dreaming big. Each day begins with freshly brewed coffee and ends with laughter and conversation over chef-prepared meals crafted from local, seasonal ingredients.

This retreat is an invitation to breathe, write, and reconnect, with your voice, your purpose, and a circle of women who understand what it means to put your heart on the page. Whether you’re polishing a manuscript, beginning a new story, or simply yearning for creative stillness, you’ll leave nourished, inspired, and more fully yourself.

Come write.

Come rest.

Come be part of something beautiful.
