Everybody wants to write but there are few that nurture that passion seriously into the hope of turning it into something bigger. Sensing this very passion through their love for writing, editing and publishing, four friends – Faiza S Khan, Alex von Tunzelmann, Nesrine Malik and Alexandra Pringle have come together to start a writer’s retreat – the first of which will take place in Marrakech in Morocco this November.  

Writers will get the opportunity to closely interact not only with the experienced team but also the likes of 2021 Nobel laureate Abdulrazak Gurnah and 2022 Booker Prize winner Shehan Karunatilaka.

Speaking to mid-day.com over a call from London, Khan shares, “We were really sorry to hear about the terrible earthquake that happened there recently. However, we are keen on continuing to support Morocco and its heritage, and the last thing we want to do is pull out of the economy.”
