July
28 - 30, 2006
|
You will join Linda and
up to five other writers in her cabin in the mountains to develop
your next NONFICTION BOOK.
Register
online now...
Linda will help you find
your topic, explore titles, develop a chapter outline, and develop
a personal marketing plan complete with ideas on how to publish
your project.
Room and board as well
as meals will be provided, including a group visit to a local restaurant!
 You
will be in Linda's small getaway home, which is not a resort, but
has plenty of bunk beds and two bathrooms. If you want to stay in
a nearby hotel, so you can have a private room, arrangements can
be made, but you will be responsible for additional costs for your
room.
Bring
your Bible! We
will spend a lot of time seeking the Lord as well as writing, and
personal coaching. Bring jeans, pen, tennies, paper, p.j.'s, toiletries,
and T-shirts!
This
Time May Change Your Life!
Linda will also help
you map out your message in book form, storyboarding your book project
with the class.
Once you, Linda, and
the group analyze the best way to present the message God has laid
upon your heart, you will get to work with writing assignments.
Next, Linda will
show you how to polish your writing so that editors will view you
as a pro.
Finally, she will show
you how to put your book into proposal form and suggest which publishing
houses might want it.
Linda will also be available
to answer your personal writing questions and to pray with you.
In fact, students have reported life-changing prayer events at this
retreat.
This Write Away Weekend
could be your ministry breakthrough!

MESSAGE FROM LINDA:
WHAT LINDA'S STUDENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE WEEKEND
The following comments were made by past Write Away Weekend Graduates:

Dear
Linda,
The
weekend is over, and what a weekend it was. I want to take
a few minutes to tell you how I benefited from this weekend.
For years I've heard speakers and writers say, "develop
a brand". Intellectually I knew what they meant and understood
their applications, but had trouble applying it to my stuff.
That is, until now. The quality time you spent with me developing
my message opened my eyes. Finally, "I get it!"
Thank you!
I have
been to several writing workshops, but never have I experienced
such personal and intense interaction between the attendees.
When there is heart-to heart sharing, people are seldom honest
enough to admit their real struggles. If they do, I and others
are at the ready to offer our quick and easy 3-step solutions.
Not this time. Even I was a blubbering fool, and I don't cry
easily. The first exercise caused the walls to crumble and
allowed the Holy Spirit to feel work among us. In spite of
our diversity, He was able to unite us and be present among
us as we prayed. Thank you for inviting Him to join us. It
felt so freeing to release all of me and not worry about offending
someone. The New Agers have no idea what their missing, do
they?
Linda,
I confess I inherited the "Martha" gene, that would
be Stewart, not Mary's sister. I'm always picking up, rearranging,
cleaning, etc. because in my mind everything has to look perfect.
You, on the other hand, were sooo relaxed. Your attitude helped
me to relax and feel and comfortable. I
Thanks
for everything, and may God bless the work of your hands.
Love,
Mary Ann

- "Linda Shepherd's guidance and thoughtful
insight brought clarity to my writing vision. Her practical advice
regarding the publishing market gave me the confidence I lacked
to pursue publication of my book." Cathy Bell; Lane, PA
- "You are a true giver of knowledge
and application of writing and publishing. Your generous spirit
was evident from the moment I arrived. Thank you for your expertise
and wise words of encouragement." Lynn Shaw, MSW Professional
Speaker and Author
- "An intimate time of laughter and
tears and much education. It was an intense three days packed
with everything for all levels of writers." Nancy Pamerleau,
MI
* You certainly delivered what you promised and more. I also
will gladly and eagerly recommend the workshop to others. I was
not disappointed.
* Thanks for the continued encouragement. I had a great time
over the weekend and really feel blessed to work with you and
the other ladies. I am excited about my project and have continued
working on the outline. I am looking forward to sharing with you
and the others
as the project moves forward.
* If you do a marketing piece, you can quote me as saying that
if someone seriously wants to make tangible progress toward writing
a book, then Linda's weekend is the best vehicle to do so.
* Again, Linda, thank you for even being willing and open to
sharing your wealth of information, as well as your home and your
life. You really are an amazing woman. Knowing you, even briefly,
has radically changed my life. Really.
* From a practical standpoint, it was learning the process of
how to develop a book. Even though I have written thousands of
newspaper and magazine articles, the whole process of creating
a book has remained a mystery to me. Learning your techniques
was of tremendous value to me.
