The Academy
One of the most comprehensive book writing programs in the world, this ten-month deep dive experience gives you the connections, the accountability, the craft and the industry know-how to make the book deal a reality. Academy writers have signed book deals with HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Penguin Random House, St. Martin’s Press and more. The Academy is a dream come true for emerging and established writers.
Writing Retreats
From Tuscany to Joshua Tree, the Thimble Islands to Costa Rica, we invite you to run away with ten other writers to experience the writing retreat of a lifetime. You’ll enjoy daily Thai head massage and Reiki, a private chef, a dream team of new friends and hours to create on the waiting page. These retreats have the power to change lives.

Rise to the highest vision of yourself as a teacher, coach, writer, and guide. Alumni of this program have had their work recognized by Oprah, Sarah Silverman, Seth Godin, Rolling Stone Magazine, The New York Times and many more. Join us.
Welcome!
Hi, I’m Suzanne Kingsbury, the founder of Gateless Writing, Inc, a movement, a methodology and a worldwide literary arts organization.
You are here because you were called to the paradise of a methodology that has the power to burst you through the cult of criticism and fly you into landscapes of limitless creativity.
Gateless Writing married neuroscientific studies from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University and the National Institutes of Health with ancient Zen, positive peer review and industry-effective tools to draw out your natural talent and singular genius.
Through the well-loved Gateless Writing Academy, the internationally-acclaimed Teacher Training program and life-changing retreats, Gateless brings you the support, the network and the agency to make your dreams come true, so you can walk into the highest vision of what you want to create in the world.
Welcome to your literary family. I can’t wait to write with you!
Suzanne
~ Parker Riggs, New York Times bestselling author of, A Treacherous Trader
"Gateless has given me the motivation, encouragement, confidence and freedom to create in ways I never could have imagined. Suzanne believed in me before I believed in myself. I’m so incredibly thankful to be part of this magical world. Dreams really do come true."
~ Laura Belgray, Critically-acclaimed author, Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F-ing Worst
"I have been to Gateless retreat, am an alumni of the Gateless Academy and worked one:one with Suzanne. Without this experience I wouldn’t have had a proposal that landed me a dream agent, and, now, a book deal with Hatchette for my first book. Without Suzanne, I’m sure I’d still be in the endless “still chipping away” phase of a blobby manuscript. Instead, I’ll soon be writing her into the acknowledgments of a real, live book!"
~ Kathleen Murray Moran, Author, Life Detonated: The True Story of a Widow and a Hijacker
"Since working with Suzanne and Gateless, my story has been shortlisted for one of the biggest memoir prizes in the publishing world, went viral online, was chosen for Salon.com’s top ten essays of the year and picked up by NPR. The Gateless method has life-changing power."
