About the event

The Book and Beyond: A One-Day Creative Retreat & Marketing Workshop for Authors
As a storyteller, you love dreaming up scenes and spinning words into plots. But it’s not always easy to tap into your creative wellspring or find inspiration. Time away from your regular routine and a supportive community can foster creativity and help you share your voice.

Once you’ve found the path to creation, nothing beats the high of finishing your first draft. Then the reality of marketing and self-promotion hits. Suddenly, you're hiding under the covers, wondering how your book will ever be discovered.

What if you could take a day for yourself to nourish your creativity and transform those scary thoughts about selling into compelling stories that connect with readers? What if marketing wasn't a dreaded afterthought, but a joyful, creative, and integrated part of the process from the very beginning? Imagine telling the story about your story with the same excitement you felt when writing it.

This is your chance to learn from two inspiring and passionate author teachers with decades of wisdom and practical experience. Our goal is to help you become a more confident writer, self-promoter, and marketer by doing what you already love: telling great stories!

In this workshop, you will:

• Dive deep into your creativity with prompted writing sessions.
• Vanquish fears that hold you back from sharing your voice.
• Learn essential marketing principles to consider before you begin writing.
• Discover how to write the hook before the book.
• Practice telling the story about your story.
• Draft or edit an elevator pitch/book blurb.
• Take your creativity beyond the book to inspire others.
• Leave inspired for your next step, wherever you are in your writing journey.

Join Audrey Kalman, author and co-creator of Birth Your Truest Story, and Shawn Langwell, author, marketing expert, and confidence coach, to transform how you approach getting your creative project started and weave creativity with marketing throughout the entire writing process. All levels are welcome.

EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION through September: $129
REGULAR REGISTRATION: $149
