Have you ever dreamed of writing a novel and seeing it come to life on the silver screen?
Or maybe you’ve already published your book and are wondering about how to turn it into a screenplay?
Seems impossible, right?
Well, the answer, is, NO! Nothing is impossible, and on this one-of-a-kind writers’ retreat, at the beautiful 14th century Marouatte Castle in the Dordogne, Southwestern France we’ll show you just how your words, your vision—let’s face it, your baby—can make it all the way to the big screen!
Here’s what Georgia Clark, winner of the first Rocaberti Scholarship, said about her Rocaberti experience:
“I was honored to be awarded the scholarship for the inaugural Rocaberti Writers Retreat. My mentor was simply fabulous: experienced, generous, warm, funny and insightful. We made great headway on helping turn my new adult fiction THE REGULARS into a feature film. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, and all in Spain!”
And the second Rocaberti Retreat surpassed even the first (there’s even a reality TV show in the works, involving one of the special guests)!
Attendees called the retreat, “A magical, miraculous event”, “The experience of a lifetime”, “The best decision I’ve ever made” and “Life-changing.”
But let the writers speak for themselves!

Your Rocaberti Retreat mentors include producer Golan Ramraz (‘Iron Man’, ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’); Debra Landwehr Engle, best-selling author with over 25 years’ experience helping writers secure agents and land publishing deals; film and theatre producer Joan Lane (‘The King’s Speech’) and Kathie Fong Yoneda, former Disney and Touchstone Exec, who’s also worked for Paramount, Universal and 20th Century Fox.
We’ve joined forces because we want to help show you how to bring your “literary twins”—your book and screenplay—to life! Not only how to finish writing them (an art in itself, as anyone who has an unfinished manuscript or screenplay lying around their home will tell you!) but also how to have them successfully published … and made into a movie!
You’ll be part of a small and exclusive group of a maximum of no more than 12 writers at the retreat.
Through focused, practical presentations in the mornings, afternoon mentoring sessions, evening social events—and with a mentor/writer ratio of approximately 1:3—you’ll learn how to tell your story on the page and on the screen, and be one step closer to seeing your dream come to life!
Sound enticing? We’re inviting writers of fiction, non-fiction, and for the screen to come join us for what promises to be a memorable (and productive!) experience. Enrollment is limited to just 12 guests to ensure small class size and maximum access to our mentors.
Picture yourself staying at a 14th century castle (how’s that for inspiration?). Participating in stimulating workshops. Enjoying a glass of wine with a film producer, published author or Hollywood agent. Sharing your work with others for constructive feedback. Just taking the time to breathe—and to write, away from the demands of your daily routine. Imagine the conversations that might unfold daily around the breakfast table or on a walk round the castle grounds.
Whether you’ve written a book, are working on a screenplay—or are just thinking about it!—wherever you are in the process, we’re here to help you move forward and show you that dreams can become reality!
This retreat is for you if…
- You’re working on a book/screenplay combination or have an idea for one.
- You have a book and want to turn it into a screenplay or vice-versa—or sell it directly to Hollywood.
- You’re unsure how to get your book/screenplay in front of agents and producers.
- You’re serious about completing your project and making your dream come true!
