WRITE NIGHT
RETREATS
Brought to you by DWRI, the team behind the RSJ Virtual Romance Book Convention.
Finally Move Your Book Forward—One Week at a Time
Escape to Write Night Retreats: your online weekly writing group to stay motivated, make steady progress on your book, and get pitch-ready—all for just $7.25/week, led by Diverse Writers & Readers International.
This 3-month online program helps you stop overthinking, stay on track, and get closer to finishing your book—while also giving you the option to prepare for pitching. Whether you're pitching to editors and agents or planning to self-publish, Write Night Retreats gives you the structure and support you've been missing, plus the creative fun you need to shake off the day and get writing.
You’ve told us your biggest challenges:
"I don’t know how to pitch my book."
"I keep procrastinating and missing deadlines."
"I need motivation and support to stay consistent."
"I get busy, forget to write, and my book's still not done."
We heard you—and built Write Night Retreats to give you the support you need.
Tired of doing this alone? Let’s change that.
Doors open Saturday, May 10th at 2pm Eastern / 11am Pacific. After that, your group will help choose a day and weekly time that works best for everyone—whether you're on Eastern, Pacific, or anywhere in between, we’ll make sure you’re covered.
YOUR BOOK WON’T WRITE ITSELF—LET’S BEAT PROCRASTINATION TOGETHER AT WRITE NIGHT RETREATS.

Write Nights will take place for a three-month session, from May 10th to beginning August, 2025, with a total of 12 sessions. Once you're part of Write Nights, you and the group will have a choice of which day and time fits best for your weekly Write Night Retreat day. It could be a weekday or a weekend, you and the group will decide.
And don't worry, our online community is pretty evenly split between the Pacific, East Coast, and everything in between, so we're used to taking everyone's needs into account. Whether you’re battling writer’s block or pushing toward the finish line, Write Nights will keep you moving forward.
