The Savvy Writers Directory helps connect writers with trusted courses, workshops, retreats, mentors, and author services. If you help authors develop their craft and grow their careers, a Savvy Partnership Package - which includes taking over this very spot, a banner on the Savvy Writers home page, mention on our socials and an extra 500 words below - is a great way to introduce yourself to a community of engaged writers who are actively looking for their next learning opportunity.
Savvy Writers Day Retreats
Dates: 25 September 2026
Our day retreats are designed especially for writers who want to get words on the page, reconnect with their stories and enjoy a sense of creative community.​ Some retreats offer a pure chance to simply write all day, in beautiful surroundings with your fellow authors. Other retreats take a more 'workshop' approach, led by bestselling author and Savvy Writers founder, Tracy Buchanan. All retreats are held in a stunning converted barn at The Old Dairy — a beautiful 17th century house tucked away in the Northamptonshire countryside. A platter lunch is supplied, with tea, coffee and homemade cake on hand to fuel your muse.
Location: The Barn at The Old Dairy in Northamptonshire
Date: 25th September
Time: 10am to 4pm.
Reach Writers who are ready to learn
If you teach writers, whether through online courses, mentoring, retreats or workshops, the Savvy Partnership Package is a chance to put your work in front of writers that are actively looking for help.
​
Our community is made up of aspiring authors, self-published writers and traditionally published authors, all at different stages of their careers. Some are writing their first novel. Others have several books behind them and are looking to sharpen their skills or grow their author business. What the all have in common is that they're keen to learn.
​
As part of the package, you will receive the following over the month:
​
-
A Featured Listing in this very section.
