Over the last decade of retreats and online courses, I’ve been lucky enough to see tiny snippets of hundreds of writing lives. Some writers I meet for just a few hours, some I get to know well, but I never fail to be in awe of the amount of work, time and dedication they put into writing.
They lose faith in themselves, they fall into gaping plot holes, they get sideswiped by bad feedback, just like the rest of us… but they keep writing, and this treasure trove is testament to that perseverance.
I’ve shared all the books I could find written by any writer who’d become part of the UWR gang through retreats or online courses. They are wonderful bunch of people and I hope that next time you’re after a new book or want to discover a new author you’ll look here find something you love.
Having said that, this is a work in progress because, man, you guys have written a LOT of books, plus I may have lost a few due to tech errors or, ahem, user error. I promise it isn’t deliberate. If yours isn’t up here or you’d like any changes to your listing (or to have it removed entirely), please just email hello@urbanwritersretreat.co.uk and I’ll sort you out right away.
And if you’re not yet published but would like to be, just remember, every one of these writers was in your position once. Keep writing, keep believing.

PS: these are Amazon affiliate links, meaning if you buy from them your price isn’t affected but I will receive a teeny-tiny fraction of the sale price. And if you’re tempted to send me a grumpy email about Amazon, please… don’t. There wasn’t another resource where I could find all of these books (and of course some of the self-published works are only available on Amazon) and, even using only one site, creating this page nearly made my head explode.
