About the Retreats
What is a Literary Escape?
A Literary Escape is a beautifully curated getaway for women who crave rest, reconnection, and uninterrupted, quality reading time. Think of it as an open invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and do what fills your cup.
Whether you’re curled up with a novel by the pool, sharing stories over wine or a cup of coffee, or wandering through a vineyard or village, your Literary Escape reading retreat is designed to be as social—or as solitary—as you want it to be. No required reading, no expectations, just space to be yourself among kindred spirits.

The Magic, Bottled in Words
-
Palm Springs was the perfect backdrop for The Literary Escape. I arrived knowing a few women and left with unforgettable memories. Jen and Natalie bottled that magic — and knocked it out of the park.
