We held our first One Day Book Writing Masterclass of 2017 on Saturday 25th February. Six students joined us for a day of understanding the how’s of getting your novel going. This class delved a good deal into non-fiction, exploring how to make our real life stories produce the impact we want them to. We were so happy to have a full class and whenever we have a gentleman in the class, it’s an extra.

We held our second Successspark Brand Writing Retreat 1-4 July 2016. Of course it was filled with several moments of helpless laughter, good company, fine dining, dancing to the setting sun, and fun, fun, fun! Our students shared some of their memorable moments from the retreat. See David Wawuyo’s take on his time at the retreat here - http://www.davidwaweru.com/adventures-in-travel-and-writing/

Our third SuccessSpark Brand Writing Retreat took place  20-23rd October, 2016. We set the agenda on day 1: it was work, fun, good company, fine dining and getting to know each other. Hesitant in our interactions on the first day, we would leave the Island four days later as friends.
The essence of our retreats is best captured in Christopher Walken's life lessons: "None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else."
