Review by Jenna Glatzer

Writers’ & Artists’ Hideouts: Great Getaways for Seducing the Muse
By Andrea Brown
Quill Driver Books
2005
268 pages 

You know what happens when you try to write at home. The kids start fighting, the laundry begs to be flipped, the pasta starts boiling over on the stove...

Distractions abound. Responsibilities nag.

For many writers, the ideal place to write is anywhere other than home. Literary agent Andrea Brown provides a solution: Take a “working” vacation.

In this guide, Andrea profiles about 600 hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts, lighthouses, and other getaway locations that she thinks are perfect for writers seeking inspiration. Each entry is short, providing a brief description of the location and amenities, and a price range. Most entries also have a website address where you can visit to see more details.

It’s the scenery that most often determines what makes a place ripe for inspiration, so here you’ll find descriptions of lake and mountain views, beautiful gardens, and palm trees.

Want to get in the mood to write that period romance? Maybe what you seek is a Gothic Victorian mansion to set those fingers flying across the keyboard. Want to get in the mind of your fisherman protagonist?  Hang out at a rustic lodge.

Listed by region, the entries cover a range of accommodations, simple to luxurious. For the writer who loves to travel, this book may provide just the right spot to get your work done and get pampered at the same time.
