Hello! I’m Samantha Stewart, and I have more than thirty years of experience in editorial departments of the world’s biggest publishing houses.
Besides that hard graft, I’ve written several books of my own, from picture books right through to adult novels, and I’m lucky to have had a few published.
I now freelance for global publishers, I lecture in Publishing at Bath Spa University and I continue to write fiction, which I hope will continue to sell!
Please let me know if you’d like to enrol on a Fictionary creative-writing retreat or a longer course.

You’ll explore different techniques with inspiring tasks and structured guidance to focus your project, leaving you with a more valuable connection to your creative voice.
Fees include all airport transfers, accommodation, meals, guided walks and added activities in available downtime such as an excursion to Girona and, of course, all creative-writing materials.
Shared room: £995; single occupancy of double room: £1,395.
You just need to book your return flights to Barcelona and pack a pen and notebook!
