Your unique talents and gifts make a difference in the world.

Create Your book & Get it Published

Saturday, April 15, 2023

Online zoom video conference

“When an idea thinks it has found somebody–say, you–who might be able to bring it into the world, the idea will pay you a visit. It will try and get your attention.” – Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear and Eat, Pray, Love.

If an idea has grabbed your attention and has called you to place your fingers on the keyboard or put pen to paper, welcome to the magical world of writing. When you willingly collaborate with a creative idea, magic happens. You are thrust on an inspirational journey that changes your life.

In this 2-hour workshop, you will nurture and steer your idea toward a book. It doesn’t matter whether you are writing fiction or non-fiction. Inspiration knows no bounds. You will:

• Clarify your message and learn how to turn it into a compelling story.
• Play with a system of writing that fosters creativity.
• Follow a roadmap that takes you through the phases of creating, producing, and publishing a book.
• Explore publishing options, including eBooks.
• Become motivated to write playfully.

9:00 – 11:00 a.m. Pacific time

Online zoom conference. Worksheets included.

“I want to thank Leonard Szymczak for showing me the ropes of getting the book to print. Without Leonard’s counsel, comments, and feedback in the late innings, I’d probably still be writing.” Chris Hawn, author of Destination Success

“Leonard’s Course on publishing is simply amazing. He starts with the basics and takes you systematically through the process. He really understands the publishing business with all aspects and pitfalls. He is a knowledgeable writer and really showed me how to write my book with passion. For anyone considering writing and publishing a book, I would strongly recommend Leonard Szymczak’s courses on writing, publishing, and marketing.” Hyder Zahed, PhD, author of Create Your Legacy: Four Portals to Living a Life of Love and Caring

I highly recommend Leonard’s workshops.” Jennifer Savino, author of Your Breath Heals: Six Simple Tools for Stress Reduction or Managing Pain
