Bring the Book - Writing Workshop

Writing Workshop with Crystal of Word Magic

You have a book in your head. Let’s figure out what’s actually there.

Crystal of Word Magic is bringing her Writing Workshop to Sulis for a concentrated morning of getting clear on the book you’ve been thinking about.

Crystal is a 4x New York Times bestselling ghostwriter and book coach, and this is her method in concentrate: the same approach she teaches over four days at a retreat, compressed into one morning and served with coffee.

You’ll leave knowing three things:

• Whether the book is worth writing

• Which path it belongs on

• What the first chapter is actually about

Most people arrive certain about all three.

Most people leave having changed their mind on at least one.

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS

HOUR 1 — IS THIS BOOK WORTH WRITING?

The validation question, done properly.

Crystal will give you a straight answer, including when the answer is no, not yet, or that is actually three books and you’ve picked the wrong one first.

It may not be what you expect to hear in the moment. But clarity now can save you a lot of time later.

HOUR 2 — WHICH PATH, AND THE FRAMEWORK

Traditional. Hybrid. Self-publishing.

You’ll learn what each path actually costs you and what it actually gets you in 2026, not 2016.

Then Crystal will open up her Storytelling Framework and you’ll begin working through it together.

Three hours won’t finish the framework. You’ll leave with the spine of your book.

HOUR 3 — YOUR BOOK, OUT LOUD

Everyone in the room gets time on their own book.

Ten chairs means ten books.

Crystal has run this format for a room in Ottawa, so she knows exactly how to make the time work.

You’ll say your book out loud. Crystal will tell you what is actually there. And the whole room gets to learn from both.

This is the hour people tend to write to her about afterwards, often with some version of:

“Holy sh*t. I have been writing the wrong book.”

WHO SHOULD BE IN THE ROOM?

This workshop is for you if:

• You have a book in your head and no idea whether it is any good.

• You have 40,000 words and no idea which ones matter.

• You’ve been “about to start” for longer than you’d like to admit.

• You run something, you know something, and people keep telling you to write it down.

You do not need to have written a word.

Empty-handed works.

Crystal has started more books from a blank page than from a draft.
