We're delighted to announce that we're offering TWO FULL SCHOLARSHIPS, as well as several partial ones, to be mentored, in person, by Margaret French Isaac, the President of Di Novi Pictures & former Exec VP of Johnny Depp's production company and UK literary and talent agent Madeleine Cotter, the Founder & CEO of WGM Atlantic Group!

Margaret, who is also a former top exec for Steven Spielberg at DreamWorks, has helped produce FORREST GUMP, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, STEPMOM, as well as numerous other box-office hits and will be personally mentoring just 4 writers at each of the March 2027 Retreats at a medieval castle in Spain:

• Early March 2027 (March 5th-10th, 2027)
• Mid-March 2027 (March 12th-17th, 2027)

She will be joined at these retreats by Madeleine Cotter, the Head of WGM Atlantic, with offices in London, New York and LA, who represents screenwriters and storytellers across film and television and enjoys a worldwide reputation for discovering and championing exceptional writing talent. Madeleine is passionate about shaping the future of entertainment by creating opportunities for emerging as well as established voices on a global scale.

And the good news is that we're offering TWO FULL SCHOLARSHIPS, along with several partial ones, to be personally mentored by these acclaimed industry experts!

We are, therefore, now actively seeking unique voices and indie scripts to whom to award these two full scholarships.

"The Rocaberti Writers Retreat was a game changer for me. Claire Elizabeth Terry’s astute pairing of writers and mentors was key, as was the calibre of all the participating executives. I learned something from all of them - and had a great time to boot! The experience far exceeded my expectations. I could not more highly recommend it!" - Christena Alcorn, Austin, Texas, Best Historical Feature, 2024 PAGE International Screenwriting Awards. (March 2025 Rocaberti Attendee.)

"As a PAGE Finalist and Gold Category Winner, I had high hopes for my time at the Rocaberti Writers Retreat. I was not disappointed.

The mentors are industry people who have strong backgrounds and they are eager to share their knowledge at all levels." - Robert Brody, LA. (June 2025 Rocaberti Attendee.)
