More about the workshop

Dream Author: How To Think and What To Do To Make Your Writing Dreams Come True - a workshop with Sophie Hannah
 
In this workshop for writers, Sophie will teach participants:
  • how to massively increase your chances of success
  • how to change incorrect, unhelpful and limiting beliefs
  • how to avoid unnecessary suffering
  • how to thrive in the face of the psychological and emotional challenges that life as a writer brings with it
  • what to do when you feel scared, confused, overwhelmed or stuck — in order to feel better, make progress and solve whatever problem you’re facing
  • how to retain full control over your writing dreams and journey, instead of giving your power away to the first agent or editor who shows an interest in you
  • how to make sure your dreams, and your definitions of success and failure, aren’t working against you
  • how to be your own best and most powerful ally and advocate, throughout your writing life
  • and how to use Sophie's amazing invention, the Literary Diagnostics method to take your writing to the next level.
