 Having trouble plotting your latest novel? Are your characters out of control? Do you need a fresh burst of creativity? The Women's Fiction Festival is organizing a special spring writing retreat at a charming hotel in the heart of Matera's Sassi District, La Locanda di San Martino.
There is no place on earth more suited to a writing retreat than the Sassi District of Matera--with its haunting beauty, hushed quiet streets and ancient buildings sculpted out of stone. Join us and writing coach and literary agent Christine Witthohn for a four day writing retreat--and treat. Four days of creativity and progress on your book, brainstorming with other writers. Mornings are for an analytical discussion of our writing, the afternoons are for freewheeling brainstorming in the underground swimming pool, Turkish bath, sauna and Jacuzzi of the Locanda di San Martino's spa in a relaxed and healthy setting with fellow writers. Punctuated of course by lunch and dinner consisting of the finest food and wine this side of heaven.
Only another writer can understand your problems and help you take your writing to the next level.
Availability is limited, if you wish to join us, please email us:

LA CIRCONFERENZA DELLE ARANCE
Maria Gabriella Genisi, LA CIRCONFERENZA DELLE ARANCE - Sonzogno, May 2010
-“After Montalbano’s orange groves, here come the oranges of commissario Lolita. Brusque, sunny, ironic, sensual. A true, unbridled force of nature.” (Gaetano Cappelli) -
Bari has a new police commissioner, Lolita Lo Bosco, nicknamed Lolì. Right from her first day on the job, Lolì has to deal with wagging tongues and influential adversaries who would like nothing better than to bring her career to a screeching halt. To make things even worse, she is handed a case that threatens her private life—Stefano Benedetto Morelli, a 40 year-old social-climbing dentist, is accused of rape. One look is enough to spark memories of a stormy, shared past.
Without the WFF nothing would have happened - says Gabriella Genisi. The WFF has changed my life and I am really grateful to the organizer of the WFF. I would advise all my friends with a manuscript in a drawer to register for the WFF because it offers so many opportunities to meet the right editor or agent, at the right time for your book to get published."
