How about ditching the First-World grind to focus on your writing? Leaving that cellphone in a drawer and engaging your manuscript without guilt or distraction?

At Novel Boot Camp in the Jungle we're gonna pack your brain full of literary know-how and make you sweat like a pen-wielding grunt...but it's not just about writing. Boot Camp is about feeding your soul the raw experience it needs to fuel months of creativity. It's about the energy, inspiration and growth that result from stepping out of your comfort zone into adventure. It's about staring life in its wild face, and writing down what you see.

It's happening from February 24 - March 2, 2019 in Nosara, Costa Rica, one of only five "blue zones" in the world, where people regularly live to over 100 years old. Nosara has been voted the number-one place to visit in Costa Rica and one of the top twenty surfing destinations in the world. It's on the forefront of sustainability, has the cleanest water-table in the country and is home to a booming population of wildlife: monkeys, armadillos, coati, crocs, anteaters, 270 species of birds and an unfathomable variety of marine life, including Olive Ridley turtles, who nest down the road at the Ostional Wildlife Refuge. Two of Costa Rica's longest rivers converge at Nosara, a magical nexus of mystery and synchronicity where something unexpected always happens and you cannot escape the plot. Get ready to:

• Practice yoga on a poolside deck overlooking the jungle
• Eat gourmet, chef-prepared meals by a Costa Rican taco genius
• Enjoy happy hour on the beach and watch the sun set over the Pacific
• Night-hike and swim by the glow of bioluminescent plankton
• Surf with Juan Surfo, the Costa Rican Jeff Spicoli
• Ride horses on a white sand beach with a former French pastry chef 
• Stand-up paddle board through mangroves to a picnic of fresh fruit
• Hang out with kindred souls who are just as creative and weird as you
• Read to each other at an Irish Pub set high in the mountains 
• Oh, yeah--and write our butts off
