On Becoming an Author Writers’ Retreat

Saturday, 10:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Have you ever wondered how it feels to publish a book? You get a box in the mail, open it, and it’s the first copy of your book with your name printed. You just became an author! This one-day writers’ retreat will change your mind set on becoming an author. Throughout the workshop, participants will:

  • Explore questions like: why do you want to publish a book? In what genre do you want to write? What is preventing you from starting your book right at this moment?
  • Learn best practices on your writing space, time, and designing a writing system.
  • Participate in group discussions and exercises to motivate you to start and continue until you become an author.
  • Explore traditional and online publishing.
  • Learn how to visualize your book before it’s published.
  • Take part in a Q & A session with a local author.

Beginners welcome. No complete manuscript is required. Bring your pen and paper, but most importantly, your desire to publish and become an author.
