Julia Bartz, THE WRITING RETREAT

Zibby speaks to therapist, creative coach, and New York Times bestselling author Julia Bartz about The Writing Retreat, a pulse-pounding, claustrophobic, unputdownable thriller about a young author who attends an exclusive writer’s retreat that soon descends into a nightmare. Julia talks about the first iterations of this story and the changes it went through since 2014 NaNoWriMo, and then shares how her own frustrations as a writer (and dreams of attending a writing retreat!) inspired this novel. She also talks about her therapy work, being a writer alongside her sister Andrea Bartz, her love of thrillers (and the great one she is reading now), and what she is working on next.
