What would being an author do for you?
- Astound your family and friends
- Add credibility to your business underlining your expert status
- Share the passion inside you
“I’d wanted to write a book for several years but never thought I’d manage it. But I screwed up my courage to ask Eileen to help and now my manuscript is finished. I’m self publishing and the book is scheduled to be published in October this year. It’s a dream come true for me.”
Becky Shaw, author, Wonderfully Strange.

What if you want to write a book but hate writing?
Let’s be honest. Not every body wants to write. Not everybody likes writing. I know people who freeze at the thought of writing anything longer than a shopping list.
If you’re like that then there are ways around it. Allow yourself to believe that you can create a book and you will find the means to do it.
Is this workshop for everyone? No. The way I’ve designed it may not suit you.
- If you want just a creative writing class then this isn’t it.
There will be tips and techniques to help your writing along but first and foremost this is about managing a successful book writing project so it takes in far more than the writing stage.
- If you have a wish to write a book but you have dozens of excuses why you can’t start now then this workshop isn’t for you.
I’m looking for people with the desire and the determination who need guidance on how to manage the project.
- If you have a wish for a workshop where you can just pinch other people’s ideas.
I’m offering a workshop full of strategies, tips and techniques that will move you on in your writing so that you become your own writer not a clone of somebody else. (you will have to sign a non disclosure agreement before you attend.) I think that’s only fair because if you had a great idea you wouldn’t want someone else to pinch it would you?
I’d love to know about the book you want to write, and even more help you to write it.
