The 2027 list

Tell me where you
want the room.
The waitlist.

6 spots per retreat means the 2026 calendar fills from this list before anything goes public. 2027 gets built from what you tell me here.

Pick the places you would actually get on a plane for. I read every single one.

First

Rooms go here first

Dates, venues and pricing land in your inbox before they land anywhere else.

Then

Your vote counts

The locations on this list are where I am considering. What you pick is what I plan around.

And

No obligation

Joining the list costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

How the board works

6 fills a room.1 is enough for a private one.

Nobody who puts a hand up walks away with nothing. I review the board every Monday, and rooms go to the list first, before dates, venues and pricing ever go public.

Where would you go?

While you wait.

The 2026 calendar has 3 rooms on it, and Victoria is the only Finish Your F*cking Book date. If one of them is right, do not wait for 2027.

You’ve told more people about this book than you’ve written pages of it.

The Bestseller Blueprint is the advice I would give you… if you asked. Okay, even if you didn’t… but you should.

6 parts, about 40 minutes. Whether the book is worth writing, where AI quietly costs you the copyright to your own book, which publishing door to walk through and what each one really costs in 2026, and what happens to the book after launch week.

Every number in it is sourced. Where the honest answer is that nobody knows, I say so.

The newsletter is publishing, what I’m actually working on, and the bits nobody says out loud. No 6-part win-back sequence if you leave.
