If you’d have told me that Crystal could transform my book writing dream into a reality in only 3-months, I would’ve laughed. But, she’s done it! Word Magic indeed! Now I’m selling out global speaking engagements with my book and known as a voice of change in my Industry. I couldn’t have done it without her.
This Is Your Wake-Up Call, Writer
Time’s relentless march waits for no one. Those ideas you’ve been daydreaming, the legacy you’re meant to leave behind? When you haven’t even picked up a pen… am I right?
Every moment spent in hesitation is a stroke of genius lost, a legacy unclaimed, a dream unbuilt.
Feel That?
It's the Weight of Unwritten Words
You’ve watched years slip by, your kids (fur or human) growing faster than your progress on that book. What you’ve lived, learned, and earned—the world needs it, craves it. But here you are, sitting on a goldmine of experience, letting it gather dust.
It’s time we take that gold to the page, my friend
What’s Is This Book Writing Retreat Costing You?
Every day without your book is a missed opportunity. A chance to lead, to inspire, to be an expert in your field—wasted. Your lessons and legacies are the blueprint someone out there is desperately seeking to transform their life, their career.
But you already know this. And it’s eating at you.
Here’s What Happens When You Do It:
To those unafraid to seize their destiny, listen up. This is exclusively for people who operate with relentless drive who refuse to let their stories remain untold. For the badass humans who are ready to immortalize their journey.
90 Days. 12 Weeks. 3 Months.
That's all it takes
Commit to your writing, to the relentless pursuit of greatness, and watch as your book – your legacy – is released into the world in as little as 3 months. Guaranteed.
**as long as you do the work!
We start with a Create-cation (a dream book writing retreat) to strategize your masterpiece, then for 12 weeks, I walk beside you, coaching along the way, making sure your manuscript comes to life.
- For the Journey: If you’re sitting on a mountain of legacy and hard-earned lessons, this is for you. I’m not here to gently prod; I’m here to ignite a firestorm under your ass. A community of writers, just as hungry and driven as you, ready to squeeze out every last drop of potential.
- For the Unstoppable: This isn't for the faint-hearted or those content with the bare minimum. It's for those who are ready to commit and to tell your own story.
Don’t be the one who looks back with regret on what could have been.
Be the one who did it.
Are you too damn tired of not giving the world your story? Good.
Let’s turn that frustration into fuel. Your legacy isn’t going to write itself. But together, we’ll ensure it roars to life, leaving an indelible mark on the world.
Ready to Become Unforgettable?
This is not for the excuse-queens (or kings). This is not for people who say they want it but aren’t willing to put in the work. It’s for the Badasses ready to write their legacy in stone (or in this case… a book).
My MISSION: Help YOU launch your bestselling book
(Just like these fab authors)

It works. That’s all I need to say. 90-days to book writing magic. I had this book idea, had no idea how to write it, and definitely didn’t think I could do it in 3-months. And I did! It’ll be on shelves next month!

For The Fence-sitters & Naysayers
Studies show that only 3% of people who start writing their books ever complete them. And, those who use a Book Coach are far more likely to finish than those who do not.
Just Ask Peter:
Peter spent 5 years+ working on his manuscript, writing, re-writing and getting caught up in the art of creating but never finishing (it’s a writer’s circle you don’t want to be part of). Until, he hired me as his Book Coach. We distilled down the messaging, rearranged the format, and finally wrote the book! What had been years in the making took mere months!
Peter Merret
Crystal has been the highlight of my book writing experience. She has a way of creating that truly feels magical. I looked so forward to our calls, I may need to keep writing books. Just magic!

Pen the Next Bestseller Where J.K. Rowling Transformed Coffee into Magic. Write in Edinburgh!
Are you still sitting on that book idea, staring at your neighbourhood Starbucks and pretending it’s Edinburgh?
Throw those lame excuses into the nearest loch and join me in Edinburgh, where even the cobblestones could school you in storytelling. This isn’t just a city; it’s a friggin’ narrative nirvana where J.K. Rowling turned caffeine into “Harry Potter.” Still think your local coffee shop can compete?
Pack your bags because we’re not just going on any retreat—we’re time-travelling to a city dripping with more history and drama than your entire Netflix queue. Walk the shadowy paths that Robert Louis Stevenson wandered, pen thrilling tales in the same haunts where literary legends conjured worlds, and listen to ghost stories that make “Goosebumps” look like bedtime tales for toddlers.
Here’s the deal:
Our Create-cation offers luxury digs where you can write in style (goodbye, cramped coffee shops), endless inspiration from Edinburgh’s eerie elegance (hello, haunted writing prompts), and all the Scotch you can sip while scribbling. Come July, you could be firing up your laptop in the world’s premier UNESCO City of Literature, or you could be at home, regretting you didn’t join. Your call, future bestseller.
Ready to swap your stale view for something spellbinding? Grab one of the last 4 spots, and let’s make some literary magic! Edinburgh’s epic tales aren’t just history—they’re your next chapter.
Catch you in the castle’s shadow!
Imagine yourself, pie in one hand, pint in the other, scribbling away…
Christchurch is a city that’s not just a city but a living, breathing story. It’s a place where resilience and rebirth are etched into every cracked pavement and rebuilt facade. Here, you’re not just a writer; you’re a storyteller in a narrative playground with the best toys at your disposal.
This November, let the crisp air of the Southern Alps slap some sense into your writer’s block and let the laid-back beach vibes oil the cogs of your creativity.
So, are you ready to trade your dull desk for an epic New Zealand skyline? Grab one of the ONLY four spots left (because crowd control is the new black) and ensure your writing journey is anything but ordinary.
