    A blissful, life-changing, highly creative, re-energising 5 day RETREAT focused exclusively on you and YOUR BOOK

    Imagine taking a week out of your busy schedule just for YOURSELF.  Five days and nights to get away from the strains and stresses of reality and absorb yourself in YOUR DREAMS AND GOALS.  Time to bring out your creativity, and get your ideas down.  Time co create a tangible structure for your beautiful book.  To have time and space to WRITE your book. To CONNECT with other like-minded people.  To swim, snorkel, dance, do yoga, lie on the beach, enjoy delectable meals, have fun and relax in one of the most stunning destinations in the world.

    Well you can!

    We have created a life-enhancing, unique, special, personalised retreat for individuals who want time and space from their busy lives to focus purely on learning how to write, publish and promote your own book.

    My name is Julie Postance, I am an author, ghostwriter of five books, self-publishing consultant and teacher and the owner of iinspire media.  Over the past ten years I have assisted hundreds of people write, publish and promote their books.  Even if you don’t even have an idea for a book, have never written before, or are terrible at spelling and grammar, my passion is to find the book inside you, get your ideas down on paper and turn them into a published book that will bring you opportunities beyond your wildest dreams.

    My dear friend and retreat co-host, Suzanne Male is the author of Get Your Book Off The Ground and A Year of Writing Inspiration. With years of experience as a journalist for WHO magazine, marketing and sales for libraries and a bookstore, Suze has a unique perspective on the best ways to write, publish, market and sell your book.  She is also a yoga instructor and will be facilitating yoga during the retreat!

    Our mission is to inspire and empower you to write, publish and promote the book inside you.  The retreat will create the space away from your busy lives to bring out the inspiration inside of you so you can immerse yourself in all the steps, tips and strategies to write publish and promote your book.  Our main intention is that you will leave the retreat bursting with clarity and passion, holding a clear vision, structure, and action plan for your book!

    Fiji is without doubt the most beautiful, peaceful, magical place on the planet.  To this day it remains untouched by tourism and commercialism.  The people are beautiful and welcoming and there will be nothing to do here but relax and focus on you and your book!

    The retreat will be held at Tambua Sands, a magnificent boutique resort, owned by Warwick Hotels and located on Fiji’s breath taking Coral Coast, approximately 60 minutes’ drive from Nadi International Airport.  Nestled in 17 acres of coconut palms and lush tropical gardens, the resort is edged by a white sand beach, crystal-clear lagoon and coral reef.  Enjoy the peace and tranquillity in one of the 25 beachfront bures (villas) on the white stand beach and tropical gardens.

    The retreat will enjoy a combination of workshops for 3 hours each day to make a total of 15 hours of workshop time.  The rest of the time you will be free to write from the lounge, go for beach walks, do yoga, come on the tours with us to the waterfalls, enjoy swimming in the pool or ocean, go snorkelling or canoeing or simply reading in your rooms.

    ‘I thoroughly enjoyed your session on Saturday – what an amazingly generous day of info. There was not one dull moment.  It was exactly what I needed to focus my head on a few ideas (and ignore some others!).  It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and I look forward to having the opportunity to use your services again in the not too distant future. A few one:one mentoring sessions sounds like just the things I could use – when I have some words down, that is 🙂 Many thanks for all the wisdom and resources.’
