Have you felt called to write a book that could better the world and supercharge your career?

Discover the secrets to writing with joy, flow and ease AND having your book become a bestseller.

photo_WomanStory.jpg

If you’re like so many other aspiring authors, that book remains inside you, unwritten — or only half complete. Or perhaps you’ve actually finished it, but nobody knows it exists.

What if you could write your book and share your unique message with joy, ease and creative excitement? And what if you knew the secrets of marketing to make it a bestseller?

Imagine how a bestselling book could boost your career and fulfill your heart’s desire to positively impact the lives of thousands.

Rest assured that there are people who need to hear what you have to say. Sharing your wealth of life experience, knowledge and perspective can comfort, inspire and touch others in profound ways. And there is no better vehicle to accomplish this mission than a book, which distills your wisdom into an easy-to-access, powerful and portable form.

A book with your name on it opens the door to instant credibility, and positions you for media interviews, speaking gigs, events, courses and more. A book is the best way to introduce you to people and let them know who you are and the gifts you have to offer. When it comes to establishing a well-paid career doing what you love, a successful book can generate a huge return on your investment of time, energy and money.

Most importantly, writing a book provides you with an invaluable opportunity to express your heart’s truth in a way that can truly benefit others.

That said, the challenges in creating a successful book can feel daunting. Maybe you have problems with procrastination and creative blocks. Perhaps you have fears around marketing — or don’t know how to reach your target audience — so you write and write, but never sell.

The good news is there’s a proven path to writing a successful book that makes a positive impact in the world. It’s a path of joy, creative freedom and artistic integrity. Through your inner voice, it’s beckoning to you now, urging you to access and express the truest, most beautiful aspects of yourself.

Mastering the Inner Game

By mastering the “inner game” used by successful authors, you can unleash your creative genius from within — word by word.

You’ll understand how to use “flow” and discipline to accelerate the creative process.

You’ll develop the compelling powers of a storyteller to shift minds and bring new ideas to life.

You’ll hone your skills to write in a way that sells, in a way that touches readers where they live.

The skills required to be a bestselling author are not only achievable, they’re not as difficult to acquire as you may think. You CAN discover how to be a creative, engaging and powerful writer — provided you have the right teacher who can guide and mentor you and answer your most pressing questions.

Gay Hendricks is such a teacher, whose proven methods for success have already helped hundreds of students. He’s a whirling dervish of creativity who has joyfully generated millions of words for articles, screenplays, nonfiction and fiction books (40 published books to his credit and counting).

And he doesn’t just write books, he turns them into successes: New York Times bestsellers, award-winning detective novels — and even business plans that win funding!

A Lifetime of Secrets

During The Bestselling Author’s Intensive, Gay will distill a lifetime of secrets for high-output, high-impact creativity that have helped him become a widely admired and successful author.

photo_WritingSunset.jpg

As a respected psychologist, Gay will share special insights that can be applied to your writing as well as to all the other areas of your life.

He knows that writing is more than techniques, grammar or the perfect proposal. It’s about accessing your depths and overcoming inner obstacles — to free you up for writing from your “zone of genius.”

It’s about allowing the larger soul-force within you to express itself through the written word. Gay has the skills to assist you in overcoming limiting perspectives, self-sabotaging narratives and personal blocks — so your creativity can run free.

Writing a book, however, is only half the equation; without an effective marketing strategy, even the best book can fail to find an audience. Gay’s deep knowledge of the psychology of marketing can help you understand what truly motivates and moves your audience.

Gay will show you how to integrate your authentic soul wisdom with the creative and analytical parts of your brain. He knows that great writers are not only conveying a message, they’re activating an experience that can change a reader’s life, which requires a whole-brain, whole-being perspective.

Gay’s approach transforms the creative process into pure, unmitigated joy. Tapping into the depths of your creative spirit is necessary to produce works of wonder and magic — books that truly impact lives and sell massive numbers of copies.

Developing the skills of a great writer is also a powerful spiritual practice. Your perspective shifts when you discover how to mine the tragedies and triumphs from your life story. Great writing liberates you as well as your readers.

This program provides a unique opportunity to do the deep work that allows you to access the goldmine of creativity that may be dormant in you — and make major strides toward a bestselling book.

Even if you’re merely writing for your own personal benefit, the skills you’ll develop in The Bestselling Author’s Intensive can reap dividends in almost every area of your life. When your writing is creative, authentic and alive, people FEEL your intentions — even through email — and can be moved to connect and work with you.

  • Live Q&A Session #2: Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 5:00pm Pacific

Module 1: Clarifying Your Vision, Liberating Your Genius & Discovering Your True Voice

week1.jpg

Writing your book begins with a vision for what you’d most like to deliver. Once you gain clarity, you need to find and access the creative voice that’s at the heart of a great book. If your vision is aligned with your deeper self and your voice is true and real, your words and story come to life. If not, they don’t. In this teaching session, you’ll begin by exploring what it takes to clarify your vision. You’ll then examine Gay’s unique system for discovering the right voice that communicates the essence of what you have to share.

In this module, you’ll discover:

  • The power of clarifying your vision and continually working with it in your subconscious through daily practices, including how to frame it in positive language
  • Techniques to enter the deeper psychology of your desired audience so you can better write with the audience in mind
  • A time-tested system for identifying what’s authentic and true for you, as well as how to tell when you’re writing from that source
  • Practices that help you engage with your place of deepest authenticity as you write
  • How to make the essential inner commitments that create success and the action plan for getting there
  • A simple formula for creating a consistent flow of creative productivity throughout the process
  • How to develop a daily writing discipline that works for you and generates results

Module 2: Heart-centered Marketing & Writing Rituals
With Featured Guest Arielle Ford

week2.jpg

In this unique session, which provides the core marketing foundation you’ll need, Gay will be joined by bestselling author, publisher and renowned teacher Arielle Ford to discuss the business of books and how Arielle transitioned to being an author by trusting to write from her heart. This session with one of our country’s most successful book publicists is sure to help guide you toward your bestselling work.

  • Access your voice with integrity in a way that generates intimacy with your audience
  • Understand the foundation of public relations and how it’s an essential adjunct to your writing career and invaluable for propelling your book into the limelight
arielleFord.jpg

Arielle Ford is a leading personality in the personal growth and contemporary spirituality movement. For the past 25 years she’s been living, teaching and promoting consciousness through all forms of media. She’s a gifted writer and the author of eight books, including Wabi Sabi Love: The Ancient Art of Finding Perfect Love in Imperfect Relationships, and the international bestseller, The Soulmate Secret: Manifest The Love of Your Life With The Law of Attraction. She’s been called “The Cupid of Consciousness” and “The Fairy Godmother of Love.”

Module 3: Transforming Obstacles Such as Procrastination, Resistance & Other Energy-draining Patterns

week3.jpg

The main challenge for writers often isn’t the actual skill of writing — it’s learning how to deal with the resistance that arises when we seek to express our full potential in the world. This is where the vast majority of writers fail on the path to creating a bestseller; they simply get bogged down in energy-draining patterns.

In this module, you’ll discover:

  • A unique, reliable way to re-channel the energy of your inner saboteur so that you don’t get trapped in old patterns that limit your success
  • How to successfully navigate procrastination with ease
  • How to use Gay’s FACT process to identify deeper levels of resistance and work with your blocks in a healthy way
  • Habits to build into your daily writing regimen which prevent common energy-draining patterns from setting in
  • How to identify any areas in which you have an “Upper Limit” problem and how to release it
  • How to address areas in which you may not be working from your zone of genius, which undermines your success

Module 4: Making It Easy On Yourself
Tips, Tricks & Tools of the Successful Writer

week4.jpg

There are several tools, tips and tricks that can make a writer’s life much easier and more successful. Unfortunately, Gay says, “I didn’t know any of them when I started out. Most of them I had to learn the ‘hard way.’ These are the tips, tricks and tools I wish I’d had 30 years ago, and it’s my hope that sharing them will save you a lot of unnecessary ‘hard way’ learning.” Gay’s tips and tools range from the practical to the metaphysical.

In this module, you’ll discover:

  • A step-by-step formula for creative fulfillment and financial success
  • How to harness the power of “The Screenplay Shortcut” to give yourself a sense of completion, right from the beginning
  • Strategies to “collapse time” and generate more output with less effort

Module 5: Learning the Secret Formula for Writing That Engages the Depths of the Reader

week5.jpg

Skilled writers often instinctively follow a pattern of writing that works with both the left and right hemisphere of their brain, engaging the all-important limbic system. When you discover how to consciously do this and apply it to your work, your writing becomes more impactful because it harnesses the natural brain patterns of your readers in a way that “hooks” them in. Gay has created a unique and highly usable formulation of this knowledge in a system called ConExCon.

In this module, you’ll discover:

  • How to engage both the left and right hemisphere of your readers’ brains in a way that compels them to keep reading, whether you’re writing nonfiction or fiction
  • How to effectively produce more in one hour than you used to do in a full day

Module 6: Harnessing the Transformational Power of Story

week6.jpg

Writing a book requires a special set of skills; one of the most important is the art of storytelling. It’s one thing to hear a story you enjoy; it’s another to read one that truly transforms. Creating an experience that takes the reader to their depths requires abundant levels of soul-searching, vulnerability and craft. This skill differentiates an author from a bestselling author like no other. It’s what turns readers into rabid fans of your work — and word-of-mouth marketers on your behalf.

In this module, you’ll discover:

  • Why most movies have a 3-act structure and how to apply this model to your own approach to stories
  • How memoir writers create the compelling voice that hooks the reader into their story. For example, is your voice that of a Discoverer, a Reluctant Hero, a Wounded Healer or some new voice we haven’t heard before?
  • The screenwriting secret that Ron Bass (who wrote Rain Man and many other hit movies) showed Gay, which provides structure and energizes your creativity

Module 7: The Business
What You Really Need to Know About Agents, Publishers & Marketing

week7.jpg

In the exciting world of blogs, Facebook and the Internet, expanding your marketing reach has never been easier. Writers are essentially solo entrepreneurs, and those who understand the basic rules and principles of entrepreneurial marketing can turn even a part-time writing career into a lucrative business. This module will complement the core teachings from Module 2 with Arielle Ford.

In this module, you’ll discover:

  • Tips and techniques related to platform building, social media, alliances, partnerships and more (Gay is a MASTER at building win-win partnerships)
  • How to recognize your genius — and outsource areas that lie outside your core interests and skills
  • The most important criteria to look for in partnering with agents and publishers
  • How to design a bestselling book campaign (and more importantly, what NOT to do)

Module 8: Moving Forward
Integrating the Disciplines of the Bestselling Author Into Your Ongoing Life

week8.jpg

The Bestselling Author’s Intensive provides you with a powerful foundation of support for your creative process. But then what? In this final module, Gay will focus on the disciplines every writer needs to cultivate in order to sustain their creative momentum and do great work. He’ll share secrets for sustaining productivity, self-care, positive psychology and accountability, and for creating systems of support that liberate your creative genius.

In this module, you’ll discover:

  • How to build writing disciplines into your daily routine... as well as when to give yourself appropriate time off
  • The art of ongoing visualization, which helps you keep the channels of creativity open
  • How to open up a creative place inside you and ground yourself in a deep commitment to your creative essence
  • The importance of claiming responsibility for dedication to your craft — the kind of passionate commitment to living out loud that keeps you inspired
