You can't just wish a book into existence. It takes "putting pen to paper" with the clear understanding that birthing a successful book is a business. It can be daunting, but the Paris Writers' Workshop offers you simple steps to become a published author.
Write in the City of Light
Paris has always been a muse for writers—the charming city, the art, the history, the sense that creativity lingers in every corner.
Now it’s your turn to let this magical city awaken your words.
Under the guidance of best-selling author Linda Lattimore, you’ll deepen your craft, refine your message, and awaken the storyteller within—all while experiencing the magic of Paris.
Writers' Workshop
Who says that writing can't be fun - especially when you are in the company of other courageous creatives - each ready for their voices to be heard and celebrated. But there's more!
- Gain clarity on your "why" and what inspires you to write -Â your readers will want to know!
- Define your reader avatar - who will be called to follow your work and purchase your book?
- What is your promise to your reader? How will they be transformed by your book?
- Create your "hook", book synopsis, and publisher worthy outline.
- Gain information about the process of finding a publisher or self-publishing and which route might be best for you.
- Your individual workshop experience will be tailored to, and meet you, where you are in your author's journey. You will be assigned one of four tracks to ensure your idea becomes a reality.
- And so much more!
What You Will Experience
Over the course of this unforgettable trip, you will:
Open your mind to possibility
Immerse yourself in a city that has fueled visionaries for centuries. Afternoons will be spent attending cultural events, cooking classes, river cruises on the Seine and more!
Learn Together
You will have access to an online video class with worksheets prior to meeting in Paris for the five morning workshops with other participants, aspiring to send their message out into the world.
Find inspiration everywhere
From café conversations to world-class art, the streets of Paris themselves become part of your writing journey.
Be mentored directly by Linda Lattimore
Former General Counsel and C-Suite executive, nonprofit founder and best-selling author, Linda has walked this path.
What It Is Like to Write with Linda
Janine M.
Thank you Linda for this workshop. In the last three years, I have not had the pleasure to THINK and understand the message I've wanted to convey in my book, as clearly as I have in these last three weeks.
The worksheets you have provided have brought such clarity and power into the essence of my book, and my faith. It hasn't felt like work; it's been an extraordinary play of the mind.
I have loved this time and appreciate you so much!
Jean B.
Linda is an experienced book mentor who is gifted at taking you where you are in your book writing process, giving you a kickstart to the next level. My book was mostly written but I was not prepared for the magic that Linda brings in both strategy and the energy of crafting a book.
When I signed up, I received pre-workshop prep worksheets which gave me the opportunity to be laser focused at the meetings. I am now on the way to publishing not one, but two books. It would never have happened without this time with Linda.
Join us for the Paris Writers' Workshop and leave with the confidence, direction, and community to step fully into your writing journey!

Linda guided us through every aspect of the book writing journey, making the process feel both exciting and achievable. She thoughtfully provided materials well in advance, giving us time to reflect on our motivations and the stories we hoped to tell. Each day was beautifully organized—with thought-provoking workshops in the morning, followed by rich cultural excursions in the afternoons. I left feeling motivated, supported, and far more confident in my writing journey.
Meghan Harrison
Linda has created a crash course on writing and publishing a book and, as a published author herself, her insight was absolutely invaluable. On top of providing lecture material for each class, Linda was invested in each story and provided honest, personalized feedback for us that I know will save me endless hours of revisions later on. After this class, I feel both empowered and prepared to write and publish my novel.
