Project: Book! Retreat

PROJECT BOOK: GET YOUR BOOK OUT OF YOU AND INTO THE WORLD (Writing / Publishing Your Book-length Writing Project)

Inspiration in front of the Sunset Pier!

Project: Book! participants find Inspiration in front of the Sunset Pier!

A hands-on workshop for any writer who would like to write and/or publish a book and

1) doesn’t know how
2) doesn’t get around to it
3) feels
a) intimidated
b) confused
c) overwhelmed
d) uninspired
e) all of the above


You’ll gain clarity, confidence, direction, momentum, and working knowledge of the steps you need to take and the procedures and pieces that are necessary (overview, synopsis, outline, and all that jazz), as well as an introduction to today’s publishing world (major publishers, university presses, small presses, self-publishing, e-publishing, and print-on-demand). We’ll talk about marketing, too, whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert. $378 (plus tax) includes retreat, lodging, two breakfasts and Saturday lunch. Note: Class doesn’t include critique of your book manuscript, which is a separate service.

sunsetinn003Our retreat takes place at the Sunset Inn, where you’ll have your own beautifully appointed private room with king-sized bed, private bath and balcony, and enjoy the large porches with rocking chairs and swings, as well as the coastal setting. For more information on the Sunset Inn, which is a five-minute walk from Sunset Beach and is next to a peaceful marsh where herons and cranes live, see  www.thesunsetinn.net. You’ll have your choice of rooms, each with its own distinctive style and color scheme. View your choices here. You’ll return home inspired with new ideas and energy for getting your book project out into the world.
