What You'll Be Doing
Together we will get your idea out of your head and onto paper where it can become your book! The Brainstorm & Blueprint process is FOUNDATIONAL for a successful book, which is why we start every new book with it! No more wondering where to start, writing yourself into a corner, or half-finished manuscripts you have no idea how to finish. You will leave this retreat with everything you need to know about the front matter, core content, and back matter of your book project and a solid structure for a successful book.
Analyzing your book idea, before you start writing, helps ensure you are creating the right book for its intended audience and purpose. The correct tool MATTERS!
The Brainstorming process pulls together your thoughts and ideas into a plan for your manuscript. This is important for a cohesive message in your book, that readers will enjoy!
The Blueprinting process creates the outline and table of contents for the book. It becomes your step-by-step map for successfully writing your book!
BONUS: You will also learn about your publishing and promoting options for your book launch!
"It's a dream come true, my book is now published, and my clients can benefit from it. Every professional should have a book, and with Clara Rose and her Brainstorm & Blueprint process, that can happen!"
"What the Brainstorm and Blueprint brought into my life, was a safe place to create, where my voice and heart were fully received. They partnered with me to cultivate even more gold than I could see."
"I often say, hiring Clara is the best money I have ever spent on my business. Her expertise and skills has helped me see several projects to the end. My new book Embolden was just picked up by a publishing house!"

Creativity is hard work, so we think a writers retreat should offer a bit of relaxation, that's why we've built in some free time for you to spend however you choose. You can take a stroll through the Shaker Village grounds, socialize with other retreat participants, or retreat to your room and enjoy some down time.
Optional VIP Experience
You are cordially invited to kick off the writer's retreat early, on Wednesday evening, October 18th, with an exclusive VIP social event at a private lake house (located approximately 15 minutes from Shaker Village).
This is a chance to meet other writers and get to know your hosts before the agenda begins Thursday morning.
We’ll enjoy a casual dinner, cocktails, dessert, and an intimate concert with a local musician.
Take advantage of this special opportunity to talk one-on-one with your retreat hosts and fellow writers.
Writing can be a solitary endeavor, don't miss the opportunity to connect and collaborate at the VIP experience.
Space is limited, so register early if you plan to secure a spot at this small group event.
"Crafting your message and creating your book is a process, and it can be difficult to figure out on your own. Making it even harder, the internet is full of conflicting advice and unproven experts selling it.
As a Literary Consultant and Publisher, it is my job to help you successfully navigate through the moving parts and obstacles, of creating your book, from start to finish.
With more than a decade of experience, I have the knowledge to help you with any stage of the journey. If you're ready to go from Stuck & Uncertain to Published & Launched, I invite you to connect with me and learn more.
