Write your Book in a Week!
Yes you can! 80% of writers take more than 6 months to get to the first draft of their book. Over 50% of first-time writers may take more a decade. Stuck in self-recrimination and writers block, writing a book the hard way, without support, can be painfully slow and feel like a weight around your neck. There is a better way. Let Teresa de Grosbois' system show you how!

Book Writers Retreat
In the beautiful city of Calgary
A bestselling book can be an important lead generator for your business. It can open doors, get you more speaking engagements and dramatically increase the amount you make. It's also the legacy you leave in the world. So why not find a better way?
Frustrated and stalled, experts often turn to ghost-writers at costs of 10K to 40K per book. The challenge with ghost-writers is that they are not only expensive, but you can lose some of your soul and personality in their writing.
Now there's a simple, affordable way to get your book written in only a week. In this up-beat, interactive workshop, you'll have everything you need to generate a solid working draft in only 7 days. You'll have a restful nurturing time. And, as your book is a business asset, the trip will be a tax write-off. What could be better?

5 Challenges Writers Face
They're Blocked
Good writing is not a left-brain activity. When you write from your left-brain you also invite self-doubt. Negative self-talk quickly becomes writers block and becomes a major barrier to the flow of writing.
That's why at our writers' retreats we include exercises to have you challenge your blocks and get you writing from your creative and intuitive centers. With the right mindset your book will simply flow onto the page.
A Demanding Environment
Your home can be the worst place to write. Your self-sabotage will demand you do the dishes, the laundry and 6 months worth of incomplete hobby projects before you let yourself start writing. You'll trick yourself into believing these demands, and your brain will invent an endless distraction do-list.
Writers retreats are popular because they work. Getting yourself away from the demanding space is critical to giving up your blocks.
Lack of Good Structure
Many writers resist the idea of an outline thinking of it as a prison that contains you. This is your ego talking. Believing structure prevents flow is like believing a car will prevent you from moving faster.
We teach powerful outlining because it is the platform that launches you. If it's not working, change it. Getting into a good writing flow requires a solid structure as the container you pour your work into.
Lack of Community
There is a small pub in Oxford known informally as "The Authors Pub" - where J.R.R Tolkien and C.S. Lewis used to meet to discuss their work with other writers. All truly great writers know one thing: great books need to be discussed with peers. Your approach, your book and chapter titles, your story telling - all get better with feedback.
That's why at our writers retreats in Costa Rica, every mealtime our participants share their work. Testing your ideas out loud is the quickest way to better writing.
Lack of Skill
Think of the last time you couldn't put a book down. The words flowed off the page and spoke to you in way that had you spell bound. And you likely didn't stop to analyse what actually made that writing so compelling. Don't worry - we've got your back. We've done the analysis for you. We'll show you the characteristics of a truly great book.
Writing well is a skillset. At our writers' retreat in Costa Rica we do exercises every day to have you take on the writing habits of the truly
great writers.
From environment to writing skill, our Writers Retreat gives you everything you need to write your book in 5 Days!
Each day involves:
✔ Group coaching with Teresa in the morning on tailor-made writing topics you need to get your book done.
✔ Yoga and meditation to get your mental space ready for writing.
✔ Exercises to dissolve writer’s block and get you writing.
✔ Quiet time in our retreat room to sit with your laptop and write.
✔ Dance breaks to help you break up the energy of sitting at your computer.
✔ Downtime to enjoy nature and the local area.
✔ Evening debrief sessions to celebrate your victories and keep you moving.
You get expert coaching and self-study exercises based on your genre and where you're at in your writing process.
This Program is for you if...
✔ You need support in organizing your content into a powerful book.
✔ You've started the writing process and need help getting to a solid first draft.
✔ You're looking for a supportive environment to get away from distraction.
✔ You'd love coaching on how to write in a bestselling structure and style.
Although our program is geared to self-help authors, we can also work with authors of other genres if you wish the support. Just note that you may take longer to get a full draft completed.
Working with Teresa de Grosbois is one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. Because of Teresa, I am now a bestselling author. As I journeyed through her How To Become a Bestselling Author course, Teresa continually reminded me how timing is everything. I have taken all of her modules, brilliant content, brilliant coaching and the results are amazing. Thank you, Teresa.
