Dean Publishing’s Authors’ Retreat

Have you ever wanted to write a book, but the time commitment or thought overwhelms you? Has anyone ever told you that you should write a book, but you have no idea where to start? Or you’ve made a start, but are struggling to finish it? Maybe you have seen peers using their book to grow their business, and the opportunity appeals to you too. 

Are you ready to share your story with the world? 

If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to any of the above, this authors’ retreat is for you.  

We’ve combined the ultimate writing space with knowledge and support from our expert publishing team to create a retreat that will kickstart your journey to becoming a published author. 

The problem with other writers’ retreats is that often you get the space to write, but not the guidance, industry knowledge and game plan to go with it. On the other hand, a retreat may be packed with knowledge but doesn’t give you the space to start your actual writing. 

That is why this retreat is the ultimate mix of space, time, and professional support and knowledge. We limit each retreat to a small group, so that everyone gets the time they need with our team. 

Book A Call

What will I learn at the authors’ retreat?

We have created the perfect balance of education and space to write so you can make a real start on your book, with the knowledge to finish it. We’ve specifically selected certain topics that will give you the expertise you need. These topics include: 

The power of writing a book

What your book can do for you and your business

How to map out your book and gain clarity around your ‘why’

How to structure your book so you can write with purpose

A rundown of the whole publishing journey, from start to finish

Choosing the right graphics for your book

Defining plagiarism and defamation

The distribution process

The ins and outs of formatting and choosing your book cover

How to launch your book into the world

Marketing your book to achieve success

Using social media to promote your book

The secrets of the PR industry and how to get good PR for your book

On top of that, you’ll have specific writing time to get your ideas and words down on paper, so you walk away with the beginning of your book – and the knowledge to take the next steps!
