SAVE THE DATE - Registration begins on January 5, 2027.

You know that time you keep meaning to set aside to write? We’ve penciled you in. Join us June 20–23, 2027, at the Renaissance Hotel in Palm Springs for our second annual Retreat to the Heat. You’ll have time to write, room to think, and fellow writers who understand why you spent all morning moving a comma.

Retreat to the Heat is for you if…

…you keep saying you need time to write—but never actually take it.
…you’re craving a break from the grind, but don’t want to lose momentum.
…you want to be around people who get it—writers who are serious, instructors who are supportive, and industry professionals who know all the angles.
