In June 2025, a group gathered in the Hungarian countryside for the first Editing Cooperative writing retreat. Together we stepped out of the rush of everyday life to focus on our writing.
Over five days, we found space not only to move our projects along but also to discuss writing, theory, data and life under the sunny skies of Mindszentkálla, a village near Lake Balaton known as the ‘Provence of Hungary’.
We hope for the retreat to be a regular and affordable event for people to come together, write together and slow down together.
