Write My Book Retreat





Writing your book alone can seem like a daunting task. I understand. It's been said that writing a book can seem like climbing a mountain, but both tasks are totally doable!


Are you ready to start writing your book?

Are you looking for a faster way to write your first (or your next) book?

Dear Author, 

Are you looking for a faster way to write your first (or your next) book?

Do you feel confused, overwhelmed or frustrated about how to tell your story?

Maybe you have wanted to write your book, but you:

  • Haven't had the time
  • Haven't had the place
  • Haven't had the mindspace
  • Don't know how
  • Got stuck

If so, you are in the right place.

I am Helen Chang, the unassuming ghostwriter and editor behind many best-selling books. I am the "thought-partner" to many successful authors, who have a method and a message to share. These are authors with a mission who use their books to raise their credibility, attract more revenue and inspire people worldwide. And you can do it too!

I'd love to help support you in writing your book, so you can raise your credibility, attract more sales and inspire readers worldwide.


The Write My Book Writing Retreat is a restorative and collaborative space for you to:

  • Focus on writing your book without distractions in a beautiful, tropical environment.
  • Mastermind and network with other authors.
  • Dig down deep and start sharing your message and telling your stories, and get past your blocks with our on-site coaches.



The quickest way to write your book is to work with experienced authors who can help coach you.

What you can expect:

  • Get your book started!
  • Get unstuck writing your book!
  • Get unstuck with our proven tools and templates to help you write your book!

My team and I have helped more than 100 authors write more than 250 books, e-books and other projects. After launching their books, our authors have appeared on CNN, Forbes, Parade, The View Oprah and other shows. They have generated millions of dollars in sales for their businesses and gained millions of loyal fans around the world. It is possible for you, too.



Imagine opening your door and taking a deep breath of fresh air, experiencing restoration while masterminding with a community of other authors seeking to share their message with the world.
