Author’s Retreat

Authors Re-treat Banner

Do you want to write a book but never seem to have the time?

Why not take some time out of your busy schedule to achieve in just three days what you will never get close to in months?

Your workshop leader is Tom Evans, author of Blocks: the enlightened way to deal with writer’s block – and all round publishing expert.

Not only will you leave with your book well on its way but your world will be transformed forever.

“I achieved in days what I could never get close to in months. I came with a loose idea for my book and left with a first draft. This workshop is out of this world.”

“Tom’s total self-belief, honesty and professional integrity create a safe space in which to totally be yourself. His practical help and advice, born of his personal pioneering authorship experience, and his desire to bring everyone into his space has a value that render money and thanks meaningless.”

“Tom is unique. He brings his own brand of passion and energy into helping you to get what you want out of your book.”

“Tom’s generosity in giving us access to his online version of the workshop and free books makes this course the best value and most enlightening training I have ever received”

Here’s what other workshop participants have said:

“It was during the creative process of Tom’s workshop that I crystallised the format of my book. Whilst I had an idea about writing a book about 2012, I had yet to put together the basic plot. The process helped me to do this quickly and with inspiration.” - Angela Clark, now a published author of 2012:The Symphony

“Tom is one of the most genuine, down to earth and practical inspirers I have ever met. His workshop is a joy and he even channelled the title of my first novel. The mix of art, science and metaphysics is a powerful combination.” - June Harrison, Scotland

“There is no other way to write a book. Tom injects a certain magic to the whole process. Tom has an amazing way of seeing the things that you don’t see during the writing process, which helps unblock those ‘writers block’ moments. He mentors you in assembling your material in the best way possible, leading to the addition of dimensions that you had not even thought of yet. I now have restored belief in my writing ability and creativity.” – Joanne Simpson, author of They Thought It Was All Over, They Were Right
