Lucca, Italy (PRWEB) October 3, 2006 -- Writers ‘hear their own voice’ as they write and craft their work during a special week-long writing retreat in Lucca, Italy. Presented by the Tuscany Writers Conference, the retreat will take advantage of a breathtaking 14th century villa in an area of Tuscany noted as the birthplace of Puccini, Dante and da Vinci. The retreat will be held at the villa from October 29 through November 4, 2006 and is limited to just 20 overnight guests and 10 day passes.
The retreat will feature a balance of writing workshops and uninterrupted time to write surrounded by the natural beauty of the grounds. International authors will offer sessions to jumpstart the creative process. There will be hosted events for networking with local authors and vintners, an on-site Writer’s Café, and a book shop hosted by The English Book Shop where authors will stop by to sign books and chat.
The basic retreat package is available for $1,145 USD. It includes a special welcome dinner, daily writing workshop sessions, nightly social hour(s) featuring famous Tuscan wines and local delicacies, daily access to the grounds and swimming pool, and access to the on-site Writer’s Café Terrace and The English Bookshop.

All participants will enjoy the villa’s inspiring views and proximity to town. Photos of the villa and event information are available at www.TuscanyWritersConference.com
The retreat will radiate relaxation and inspiration, but it is also designed to be a time when writers can prepare their work in anticipation of the Tuscany Writers Conference (to be held in April 2007 at the villa).
