Palm Springs Writer's Retreat
An intimate writer's retreat with bestselling author, book consultant, and thought leadership strategist Ruth Klein.
Your Book Deserves Your Undivided Attention
There is a book you want to write. Or perhaps you've already started it. Maybe the manuscript is nearly finished, but you know something isn't quite clicking. Or your book is already published and you're asking: now what?
I created the Palm Springs Writer's Retreat because I've worked with authors at every one of these stages. And I've learned something important. Sometimes what your book needs most is dedicated time, the right environment, expert guidance, and someone who can see both the book you're creating and the opportunities that book can create for you.
For three days in beautiful Palm Springs, that's exactly what we're going to do.
This Is Not Just About Writing a Book
It's about what you want your book to do. Your book can become the foundation for so much more.
But those opportunities don't begin when your book lands on a shelf. They begin with your message. During our time together, I'll help you strengthen that message and move your book forward with greater clarity and purpose.
No Matter Where You Are in Your Book Journey…
You are welcome here.
There are so many low-hanging fruit available to authors. Sometimes you simply need someone to help you see it.
Imagine Three Days in Palm Springs…
Away from your normal routine. Away from the distractions that keep pushing your book further down the list. You'll have dedicated time to write, think, refine, ask questions, and make meaningful progress.
But you won't be doing it alone. You'll have my guidance throughout the retreat, along with the energy and encouragement that comes from being surrounded by other writers who understand how much this book means to you. And because I want this experience to be personal, this will be an intimate retreat with limited availability.
And Then There's Sunnylands…
As part of our Palm Springs experience, we'll enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the historic Sunnylands Estate, often referred to as the "Camp David of the West." Presidents, royalty, diplomats, and world leaders have gathered at this extraordinary desert estate.
We'll experience its iconic mid-century architecture, gardens, history, and remarkable legacy. Because when you're writing something that may become part of your legacy, there's something very special about spending time in a place where so much history has been made.
What Could Three Days Do for Your Book?
- Finally clarify the message you've been struggling to articulate.
- Make significant progress on your manuscript.
- Discover the positioning that makes a literary agent understand why your book belongs in the marketplace.
- Uncover an entirely new book marketing opportunity.
- Finally see how your book connects to your speaking, media, television, book tour, business, and thought leadership goals.
- Most importantly, you leave knowing what comes next.
