Our Story
Where Wanderlust Meets the Written Word
Jet Set Write helps ambitious emerging and established fiction writers escape everyday distractions, connect with peers, and transform their manuscripts in stunning global destinations.
Created and led by bestselling authors Mansi Shah and Anoop Judge, our retreats are built by writers who understand the creative life you’re working toward elevating your craft, honoring your ambition, and ultimately getting your stories published and into readers’ hands.
Intimate and intentionally small, each retreat blends meaningful manuscript work with restorative local experiences. Think mornings deepening your novel’s voice and structure, and afternoons tasting local food, wandering through galleries, or sailing into sunsets.
