Love to Learn:
Writers Education
Experience a Thurs-Sun writing adventure focused on writing a world-class bestselling book with training from NYT bestselling ghostwriter Crystal Adair-Benning. We’ll get the creative juices turned on, cranked up and fine-tuned with educational seminars focused on writing principles, practices and tools. Then we’ll clarify your strategy, spend time writing with feedback, talk publishing, and promotion, leaving with a full marketing strategy as well.
Write With Me:
Create-cation Experience
Mon-Thurs explore a sumptuous feast for the creative senses, including nature experiences, delicious dining, and space to create at your own pace. This is a creative catalyst experience. Focused on creating, Crystal will be available for support and guidance without formal training sessions. She too, will be writing her own projects alongside this create-cation experience so you can glimpse the master at work and let the magic glitter dust your own book.
Writers Paradise:
I Want It All!
For the writer who’s serious about a week of book talks, informative sessions, training, feedback and writing – attend both writing experiences for a masterclass in what it takes to dream, create, publish and promote your very own bestseller.
And, you need to know…
I take your create-cation experience seriously!
Picture this: Handcrafted meals that tickle your taste buds, accommodations so cozy and spacious they’re like a creative cocoon, and a sprinkle of curiosity to make your creativity sparkle like a supernova. Rest assured, we’re all about creating an environment that nurtures your genius and lets those words flow effortlessly onto the page.

What others are saying
Ever dreamed of being that effortlessly chic author typing away in a picturesque location, creating literary magic?
Well, darlings, this is your eat-pray-love moment!
Whether you’re ready to conquer the world or just check a major item off your bucket list, a book is waiting inside you.
These writing experiences may be for YOU if you've ever:
- Felt the electrifying jolt of book inspiration but haven't dived in yet.
- Started writing but got tangled in the 'how-to' web.
- Dreamed of being hailed as an expert, jumping on Oprah's couch.
- Battled imposter syndrome in front of a blank page.
- Whispered "I want to write a book" a gazillion times but haven't penned it down.
It’s time to shake off those doubts, grab your metaphorical quill, and pen your legacy – you Author, you!
Unleash the Book Within!
Picture this: A writer’s getaway dedicated to birthing your masterpiece. A retreat so intimate and hands-on, it’s like the VIP backstage pass to Authorhood.
Introducing (me!) Crystal,
Your Book Guru!
NYTimes bestselling ghostwriter, copywriter, and event host extraordinaire—because let’s make this journey a blast! From being paid in dog food for my first NYT bestseller to now commanding 5 and 6 figures for books, I’ve birthed more than my fair share of bestsellers. Now, it’s my mission to guide incredible people like YOU to tick ‘Write a Book’ off their bucket lists!
Expect the Unexpected!
This isn’t your average writing experience. This is a create-cation. Where a blank page is simply a canvas for your brilliant mind to create upon.
Imagine you, the page, and an epic adventure in storytelling. Get ready to unlock and supercharge the story inside you!
Never has there been a better time to write. A book is the penultimate intellectual property (IP) solidifying you as an expert, authority and creator! Your words, your vision—they deserve a stage, a spotlight, and a legacy.
Let's create something that leaves the world in awe!
Not adventurous… enough?!?!
I’ve got YOU!
Introducing... WRITER SAFARI!
A 8-day trek just for writers into Africa where we’ll experience luxury lodging, fine dining and animal magic as we spend days scanning Kruger National Park to inspire our creative flow and writing fireside in the evenings with even more adventurous chapters.
This is the ultimate writer’s experience for authors seeking a road-less-travelled experience in crafting their book. Write with a NYT bestselling ghostwriter in places and on adventures that inspire her… and will surely inspire you too.
Make Your Words Roar
(now with lions and without)!
Now’s the time to pen your book that’s been playing hide-and-seek in your daydreams. Step into a world where the chaos of everyday life fades, and your book takes center stage.
Join me for a Word Magic Writers Retreat & Create-cation and let’s create bookish magic together!
