**If you could just get away to focus on writing it. ** YOU NEED...
Let's Get Real:
-
You've tried writing alone.
-
You do much better when there are deadlines and check-ins.
So what does this Virtual Writers' Retreat Include?
Eek!! Are you absolutely ready for the deets? Here's the thing, I can't be the only person to have swooned over Writers Retreats! I also attended one, and although it was absolutely AMAZING, It was $8,000 and wayyy too short! I needed more! So, I got a group together and we had a 30 day round of AWESOME SAUCE that must be experienced again...with YOU!!
Here are the deets:
30 Days of Consistency
One of the biggest parts of writing is SHOWING UP...consistently...to the page. This is the beautiful thing about accountability. In our virtual writers group, we show up online for at least an hour, three consecutive days a week. On unofficial meeting days, we have co-working and checkins, so that there is some sort of daily accountability. That's right! Every day, there will be others looking for you to cheer you on! During the first round, many of us wrote ten pages during every sitting. It's amazing what you accomplish when you grant yourself the space to create...and honor it. You also have others who believe in your work as much as you do. There's so much magic in that. But...there's more!
Celebrate Your Micro Wins...with Friends
What's celebrated gets repeated. No waiting until your book is completely published. In our group, there is a spreadsheet where each person plugs in their daily word count. Prizes are given to those who write more than 500 words consistently without skipping a day during that week. How fun!
Supportive Feedback and Guidance
Although you get to join us from your favorite spot wherever you are, the vibes in our virtual retreat are magical. We give each writer space to share, give and receive feedback, and to take off their mask. After all, writing is deep work. Our writers also come from different backgrounds and are writing different genres. Some have already been published and are working on another book in a series. You get to play in a playground with others who are eager to not only write, but to also complete and put these book babies out into the world.
Beautiful Bonus:
Just in case you need a bit more guidance on how to flesh out your ideas, how to outline your book, how to create different types of books, and how to self publish...we've got you covered. You receive a full portal of eleven lessons all designed to help bring you more clarity, so that you can show up to our virtual meetings ready to write and be cheered on! Now, how's that for showing up?

Did you say prizes?
I sure did! Although it was exciting to see some of my clients, like Nyota Gordon, release bestsellers! (Check out her book on Amazon) and others like Leah Bomar, Ronnie Webb II, and Elisheva Ray publish their very first online articles (Woot!)- sending beautiful prizes to motivate participants and experiencing deep connection is the best part for me! So, yes...there are amazing prizes, but there is winning happening all around here.
What they're saying
"When I jumped on the opportunity to work with Gahmya and write my book I wasn't actually thinking about doing it "right now". As a High Performance and Leadership Coach, who is writing a book on how to create an abundance of time for yourself, I knew how much time I'd need to prepare and write a book I am proud of and frankly, I had other priorities on my list. But I couldn't resist working with Gahmya, knowing her energy and experience I had to jump in. It's been an amazing journey so far. 2 weeks after and I am almost 10k words into my book, have already pre-sold 17 of them and sourced ideas for the cover. I also booked an interview for the book and on my topic and I just love this journey. But the best thing about it is the accountability and the people in the community. I know that every day I get at least 1 hour of writing in and have the best people around me who do too and this is what makes the difference. I would re-join every course after this just because of this fact alone. Thank you Gahmya for your love and support and bringing amazing people together and incredible valuable books to life!"
Monique Lindner
Success & High Performance Coach
"The first month I participated in the writers retreat, I finished writing the entire first draft my book, had my first article published online, and started booking media appearances. I also pre-sold over 40 copies and registered my book with the Library of Congress. The trainings from Gahmya walked me through step by step what I needed to know about copyright, marketing funnels, and so much more to help with the marketing and logistics of publishing a book. The information received is invaluable to navigating the modern publishing world. Plus the connections and community of the group with co-writing calls, priceless feedback, prizes and challenges are just the motivation I needed to make a long time dream come true!"
Leah Bomar Thompson
Author, Speaker, Life Coach
"This has been such an amazing experience! In just a few short weeks, I've learned an incredible amount of information about writing and publishing and have been able to challenge myself to think outside of the boundaries of conventional writing. Who knew that being a curriculum designer was actually a thing? Not me. Although I've designed and delivered wellness curricula throughout much of my career as a physician and educator, I had no idea that I could actually translate this passion into a service offering for other people. Although I'm a physician by training, I've always considered myself to be a teacher by calling. I'm thrilled at the possibility of being able to turn my passion for delivering wellness education in an engaging and experiential way into a potential career. Thank you Gahmya for being such a wonderful coach and insightful mentor!"
Reba Peoples
Physician and Educator
"This was truly the best thing I've ever done, and Gahmya is an incredible force who is your cheerleader and mentor all-in-one. I can't thank her enough for giving me that extra push that I needed to write my book. It's something that I only dreamed about and with her guidance, I'm actually seeing it happen before my eyes! She is not only knowledgeable, but she is able to collaborate in a way that makes us the entire writers' group feel like family. Because of this virtual writing retreat, I now have a group of writers as friends and the confidence to see my book get published. If you've ever entertained the idea of writing a book, then you need to join!"
Rachel Simmonds
Educator
"Gahmya is amazing. This course has allowed me to not just move past my fears but also gave me the blueprint that I needed to have a successful book launch. With her guidance I was able to have a good amount of pre-orders before my book is even completed. I am thankful to have an experienced author share all the secrets and know all to find the book inside of me and share it with the world."
