A two-day relaxation and writing workshop designed to help female authors tap into their creative energy and produce masterpieces.
About this event
House Capacity Publishing is a self-publishing company that guides authors from the beginning stages of writing a manuscript to the final stages of publishing and marketing their projects. House Capacity is founded on the principle of going beyond limits and expectations; we operate with this mindset each time we collaborate and create with our authors. Our company understands how important it is for an author to represent his or her work in the best way possible, and we are dedicated to providing authors with the best tangible representation. We are confident that with our assistance, our authors will succeed in their various domains and genres.
Pens & Pajamas is a space to allow authors to step away from the hectic demands of life and center their focus on creating literature. We combine the light-hearted nature of a slumber party with the laser-focused outcomes of a writing conference to provide a unique and beneficial experience for all attendees.
Accommodations
Attendees will be housed in a double-bed suite at Hyatt Place Livonia with a roommate of choice or one who is randomly assigned. We will reach out with final details about room and roommates a week prior to the event. There is access to a complimentary "grab & go" breakfast Saturday morning as well as a pool and fitness center.
