Amalfi Coast Silent Reading & Writing Retreat for Women: 7 Days to Rewrite Your Life’s Story with Stephanie Shephard
Amalfi, Italy
Packing for your retreat to beautiful Italy…
Craving a reading and writing retreat that doesn’t just inspire you—but transforms you?
This October, I’m inviting a small, handpicked group of book lovers, writers, travelers, and quiet creatives to join me—Stephanie Shephard, author, screenwriter, and writing coach—on Italy’s legendary Amalfi Coast.
Let me keep it real:
Nothing hits like waking up to sunlight dancing on the Mediterranean, espresso in hand, and diving into a new book (or old favorite), a new story, and a new beginning with a circle of women ready to reclaim their voice.
Why the Amalfi Coast?
It’s not just the blue water and lemon groves.
It’s the feeling—walking ancient streets at dawn, journaling beneath an olive tree, reading silently while listenting to the ocean waves, sharing slow meals in the quiet confidence of sisterhood. Every woman here comes with a story—and leaves with a chapter changed.
This is not a networking event. It’s a reset.
For your creativity. For your soul.
Ready to come write, rest, and return to yourself?

What You Get (And Why You Can’t Get This on Zoom)
Silent Reading Sessions – Settle into quite company with a small group of women—books in hand, warm drinks nearby, and the Amalfi breeze drifting through as you read beneath the Italian sun.
Writing Workshops – We dive deep. Character, plot, voice, structure—plus space to write new work, revise, or finally finish that book.
Personal Coaching with Me – I meet you where you are. Struggling with confidence? Stuck on your second act? Need a cheerleader? You’ll get it all.
Culinary Experiences – This isn’t some basic hotel food. We’re talking farm-to-table Italian dinners, fresh pastries, local wine, and yes, espresso until your heart sings.
Cultural Immersion – We explore tiny Amalfi villages, take in the coast by boat, and draw inspiration from real Italian life.
Soulful Community – Women in every genre and background (readers, writers, creatives)—if you need a safe, empowering space to tell your story, you belong here.
Who Should Come?
This retreat is for writers at every stage—if you’re burned out, blocked, ambitious, or just hungry for time and space to create. If you’ve felt unseen or unwelcome in other literary spaces, this retreat was made for you.

Why Me? Why Now?
I built this retreat because I know what it’s like to need escape, healing, and a creative breakthrough. I’ve helped writers finish their first novels, revive abandoned dreams, and even land agents. You don’t have to be published. You just have to want to write.
You are worthy of your own story—and of seeing the Amalfi Coast from a place of possibility, not just as a tourist, but as an artist.
Spaces are limited—this is for the bold, the curious, the women who want more.
Ready to write your story (or read your favorite book) where the sea meets the sky?
I can’t wait to welcome you to Italy.
