Non-Fiction Writers Retreat Testimonials Deb Cole

Money, impact, opportunity. That's what a book can give you. But how do you fit writing it into your schedule? That's why I decided to host writers retreats. It's for the busy professional and entrepreneur who knows a nonfiction book will boost their business, but they're having trouble carving out the time to get it done. That's what we do.

This weekend forced me to really get clear, really get organized with my thoughts and pull it all together so I have a very concise outline. Now I know exactly what the book is about. The message, the tagline, the marketing. I met with her marketing coach. I met with her writer coach. It was phenomenal because I got that feedback as a writer that you really need from an editor, from someone that has an outside perspective because you're so close to the work. There's this camaraderie and this supportive environment of all of these other writers at the same in the same place in the same time, all writing and getting our work done that is incomparable to anything I could do on my own. There is no way. So even if I blocked off four, five hours, let alone eight hours in a day to write, I never would have kept the pace that I did here with other writers. My phone is constantly blowing up from clients to friends to people that you know, Facebook updates. It's just a ridiculous distraction. And the only way you can get that focused writing is if you get the distractions away. So this writer's retreat is an absolute must for anyone that's a busy entrepreneur or just a busy mom or professional. And you need to get focused, and you need to just shut it all down, shut the world off and focus on what's most important for your book, which is the writing.

So if you're working on a book but it's going slow, or you want to start writing a book but you're finding the whole thing overwhelming, the next Book Launchers retreat is for you. See you soon.
