Curative Writing in Skyros

Curative Writing is a series of unique creative writing practises that take us beneath the busy noisy mind to the endlessly imaginative place where our stories await.

Writers have always been drawn to seek out the perfect conditions in which to invite the muse; to access the unconscious mind, where our natural writing voice can be heard with absolute clarity.

Neuroscience is finally catching up with what writers have always known: that writing is good for us. Atsitsa Bay on Skyros Island is the portal!

Atsitsa Bay is Skyros Island's holistic holiday centre, set in a stunning, natural location, right on the bay and surrounded by pine forest.

My writing courses here are part of a wide range of courses and activities and an outstanding team of facilitators. Atsitsa is the perfect place to be inspired and try something new. The psychotherapist, Dina Glouberman, is directing this holiday.

Discussion panel

9/7/2025

War's long shadow. Writing WWII - eighty years on.

I was please to be invited to host this panel discussion between three writers, Felice Hardy (far left), Frances Liardet next to me, and Michael Tasker Phillips (far right). They have all written books based during the War and – like me – have a keen interest in trauma and how each generation is challenged to heal the past and live authentic lives.

An evening workshop at Moo & Two, Frome

11/9/2024

Writing for renewal, resilience and transformation

Thursday 10 October, 6.30–9pm.
Moo and Two, Frome, Somerset.

Come along for a cosy, candle-lit evening of writing, guided by me, at the lovely Moo & Two. I’ve been ‘curating' some gentle but powerful writing techniques and exercises since finishing my doctoral studies in Creative Writing, and completing my practitioner training in the psychotherapy, Focusing.

Neuroscience is catching up with what writers and thinkers have always known: that writing is good for us. It calms the anxious mind, finds meaning when a personal or global narrative might seem senseless, and restores the balance of inner and outer.

Places are limited and these workshops can fill up quickly. Please email me to book and I will provide payment details.

Bring your favourite pen and paper. £15

Digital books

Dotbooks, Germany

Two of my novels – Tapestry and The Silver Thread have just been re-launched in digital versions.

Dotbooks work in a different way to German trade publishers in that they pitch to the eBook retailers (with the package including covers etc) to get their support for promotions and then schedule the publication date around that.

Audio first

14/7/2024

K.T. Fitzpatrick discusses the experience of her novel being published in audio before print.

The setting for my new novel had been brooding in my imagination for a while: Black Mountain, a pile of granite boulders in northern Queensland, Australia, with an eerie reputation. There have been several unexplained disappearances at Black Mountain, dating from the late 1800s.

I set the novel in 1919, with a British protagonist, Eva Willoughby. Eva escapes a violent marriage in Oxford, England, and arrives in far northern Queensland to stay with a childhood friend on a cattle station. She takes a secretarial job at a constabulary near Black Mountain, and becomes a kind of accidental detective when someone she knows disappears.
