“I was already writing and publishing books (German writer), when I did my Tom Bird-retreat. Not expecting much, as I know that the novel writing process is a very long and suffering endeavor. (at least for me), I decided to give it a try and see what comes out of it. Surprisingly, the method worked amazingly well: I had 2 new projects in mind, not knowing which to start. In the end I worked on both, developed two complete and extensive outlines and one short-story. My revision and editing work after the retreat will be to re-write the complete story, which will be easy with the existing outlines, with focus on language and style. This I will do with Tom’s method, too. Instead of suffering, struggle and pain during the writing process I had fun and was in a flow. Thank you Tom, for sharing this method with us.”

“The retreat was wonderful. I’m surprised at how much I could write when I got out of my own way and wrote what came thru! I feel confident now that I can not only write my book but publish it. And then on to the next one!”

“Thank you for an amazing retreat. I completed two books with a third on the way! The retreat helped me give birth to these wonderful books that have been inside me. I’m excited to share them and be of service to a new audiences–young children and teen girls! ”
