Here's what past participants say:
I really did not believe I could write a book in 90 days, but I did it in 60 days through Kamala Devi's class. The process she shared made my book a reality, overcoming many limiting beliefs and inspiring me to believe that I can be a published author. Not only did I learn a lot about writing, but I also learned more about myself and had a lot of fun along the way. Kamala's energy, passion and love for writing have been truly inspirational. I can see this as the beginning of many future books.
--Mariette Pan, Author of Dream Spinner
If you have ever thought to yourself, I would love to write a book and be a published author, you should seriously consider Kamala Devi's writing program. The content, the community and the process itself of meeting for 90 days with spiritually grounded like minded individuals was invaluable. My lessons started the minute I signed up. Just by deciding to take the course and invest the time and money opened up the flood gates turning ten years of procrastination, fear and doubt into inspiration, clarity and a knowing that not only will I finish my book but will be a huge success.
--Greg Rex, author of the Antedote
Kamala's writing class was inspiring. There was a lot of information, suggestions, strategies, insider-details and helpful insights, camraderie, abound. A shared community of writing talent evolved. Most importantly, she is the epitome of encouragement for aspiring authors to "just do it." Her graceful enthusiasm and faith in our talent became contagious to all. And hey-- It was FUN too!
--Denny Braun, Ph.D. Author of 5 non fiction books
I truly would not have done it without you! I remember sitting in your kitchen that first time last July, listening to this amazing person talking about writing and wondering how I was ever going to become a writer. Thank you for helping me become one. Kamala is a unique combination of technical, creative, motivation and support. Her personal commitment to everyone's success made all the difference. This workshop experience exceeded all my expectations.
Larry Staples, Winner of National Write a Novel in A Month
Kamala Devi's Class was the most powerful I could imagine for actually helping someone write a book. She helped me distill and trust in my ideas, and then she provided tools, structure and motivation to turn these ideas into a finished product. It was like being midwifed all the way from being an aspiring writer to having a finished product. The technology she presented help me to produce maximum results in the shortest amount of time.
--Ford Peck
Aweseome, Kamala. You are a most amazing goddess. I am ever soooooo grateful to know you and learn from you. Deep thank yous! I am so in love with life.....Mmmmmmmmmmm. Thank you for the candle you place on my path.
--Anna Karenina "Hemingway" tee hee.
The nature of this writing workshop is dynamic. Kamala Devi is imparting to the class the structural process necessary for the creation of a book, but as least as importantly, Kamala learns as she teaches, guaranteeing that the next class will be even better than this one.
--John Neville
I've made great progress on my new book- very exciting. Thanks for holding such awesome space !
Degan, Author of How to Catch a Hummingbird
I walked in with some vague notion of wanting to include art in my life and I walked out a writer. I walked into a group of strangers feeling lonely and I walked out with close friends feeling loved... I walked in overworked and overwhelmed, and I walked out--aware that all of life is art, that each moment is worth experiencing to the fullest... and writing about. Thank you Kamala.
-- Lori Williamson AKA Sathyavani Devi

Instructions on Automatic Writing or "Channeling"
1. Free yourself of all distractions such as phone, people, and pets.
2. Sit comfortably in front of your computer. Place both feet flat and firm against the Earth.Lengthen your spine, close your eyes.
3. Drop into your breath. Gently restricting the back of your throat so the breath is long and smooth. (Ujiah breathing.)
4. Relax every muscle, especially your pelvic floor and your jaw. Completely clear your mind.
5. Bring your palms to your heart in prayer to silently invoke protection. Set your intention on the highest vibration. (Allow 1 minute) Know that during this session you are safe and guided.
6. Now place your fingers lightly on the keys before you. Stay open and receptive.
7. You’re computer is simply an instrument to help you talk to your spirit guide or higher self. Crystallize a question in your mind. Anything you yearn to know.
8. Visualize white light coming down from above and entering your crown Chakra. Or allow any other visualization that represents drawing infinite intelligence from source.Know that whatever the answer is to your questions will be written by the spirit.
9. Do not allow time for your mind to listen to this information. Just type. You may even close your eyes or look outside to distract the left brain while the right brain does the channeling. If you hear a voices, or your own voice, don’t question it. Simply record it.
10. Continue this process for at least 15 minutes. If you get stuck, simply focus on a new question, and repeat the process.
12. To conclude, ask your source if they are complete. And when you have finished your last question, close your eyes, take a deep breath.
13. Thank your guides and come back to full consciousness.
14. Stand up and shake out your body before reading over what you’ve written.

Who: You! In November of 2006, over 79,000 people attempted to write a novel in 30 days. (Over 300 people in San Diego) Nearly 13,000 succeeded by the midnight deadline. They started the month as auto mechanics, out-of-work actors, and middle school English teachers. They walked away novelists.
Why: The reasons are endless! To acomplish something memorable, be able to make obscure references to passages from our novels at parties, to further your career, to express yourself, for the hell of it!
When: Sign-ups begin October 1, 2007. Writing begins November 1. To be added to the official list of winners, you must reach the 50,000-word mark by November 30 at midnight. Once your novel has been verified by our web-based team of robotic word counters, the partying begins.

Book Critique by Bliss Coach--
Congratulations! You've completed your first or second draft of your Manuscript. Whether it's an exciting new novel or powerful nonfiction, a Book Critique by Bliss Coach is an excellent tool to help you learn exactly what your book needs to become a true success.
I will provide detailed sensitive, supportive, creative, and highly professional feedback that will and tools to help you quickly and effectively turn your manuscript into a valuable published book.
For a Novel:
I'll assess its strengths, weaknesses and show you how to improve:
Plot structure
Scene development
Characterization
Viewpoint
Physical setting
Narrative style
& other elements that will help you break into the world of fiction
For Non Fiction:
I'll assess its strengths, weaknesses and show you how to improve:
Reader interest
Structure
Powerful arguments
Clear presentation of material
Viewpoint and voice
Credibility
Practicality
& other elements that will help you break into the tough world of non fiction. This practical detailed critique is invaluable and more personally enlightening than any class, or book about writing.
My process:
When I critique your manuscript, I'll read it first to get an overview of the big picture. Depending on the manuscript and its needs, I may read it one or two more times to take notes and address its strengths and weaknesses. If I'm going to make suggestions about changes to your manuscript, I want to know how incorporating those suggestions will affect the entire story, theme or message. Ultimately I'll be looking at how to help you make the most dramatic improvements with the least amount of time and effort. I want to support you in turning this manuscript into a published book so that you can get on to your next book!
Not included:
I will not be re-writing, line editing, copy editing, or ghost writing any portion of your book. My strengths lay in the big picture not the small details. Before you go to a line editor, my critique will insure you have the best possible draft, without redundancy or wandering off your main purpose.
The Fee: $497 for the first read through or $200 for a follow up on a new draft.
The Results: Turnaround time is eight to ten weeks. The end result will be a phone consultation about a page of important notes that will serve as a guide for your next rewrite. I'm also happy to consult with you about self-publishing, marketing and promoting your book. For questions, or to get started call 858-272-2254 T-TH 10-6pm
