Friday Workshop: WARRIOR WRITER with Bob Mayer

The Workshop:

Warrior Writer focuses on the author, not the writing. It is the only workshop that covers all aspects of an author’s role, from creator of the book to being an integral part of the business of delivering that book to a reader’s hands.

The world of publishing is changing at an incredible rate. New technologies have required authors to adjust to a different mindset. Today’s authors have to not only write the better book, but create a platform for themselves. Social media is also changing the face of marketing.

Formal author training does not exist in traditional publishing. Warrior Writer fills this gap by giving authors the tools they need to be successful in today’s new face of publishing.

Warrior Writer provides the road map writers need to become successful authors.

What does the workshop address?

Using the Who Dares Wins approach, Warrior Writer will help writers develop a plan to enrich their writing and overcome hurdles. This includes finding personal blind spots that are hurting the writing. Integral to the plan is developing a career path which includes author goals in terms of books, theme, unifying concept, all the way down to organizing day-to-day writing. Of particular focus in creativity are finding true fears, developing the courage to conquer them, and uncovering each person’s unique creative tactics & strategies.

The Who Dares Wins approach:

1. WHAT specifically do you want to achieve with your writing
2. WHY do you want to achieve these particular goals
3. WHERE will sustained change occur
4. Understand CHARACTER
5. What is CHANGE, and how do you accomplish it
6. How do you build the COURAGE to change
7. COMMUNICATE your change to the world
8. Take COMMAND of your change
9. COMPLETE the Circle of Success and change
