Do you crave a more creative life?
Do you feel like the days, weeks and months are getting away from you?
Maybe you see other people writing daily, finishing their books and winning writing competitions and you wonder why that isn’t you?
Writing is an essential part of you.
In the same way that you make time for getting exercise or going for a dental check up, the best writers prioritise their craft on a regular basis. It’s a part of who you are and it deserves to be nurtured.
It’s not selfish to make time for the thing that makes you feel good, and the longer you procrastinate the more it chips away at your authentic self.
Writing is a gift that you need to allow yourself to enjoy.
What could you create if you focused on your writing practice for the next 12 months?
Allow yourself to visualise that future for yourself.
Are you journaling every morning to process your life experience?
Are you developing characters that have been living in your head for the last few years?
Are you tweaking a plot that has been unfolding within you? Perhaps you’re writing your memoir and submitting it to an agent?
Or writing articles for your favourite magazines and getting paid for it?
This future is possible for you. But it’s not going to happen without craft and consistency.

Why I created this course
For a decade I worked 50+ hour weeks in various jobs I hated. I thought a career in creativity was pipe dream. A lost cause. A total impossibility.
I thought to become a writer I’d have to go back to university or get an unpaid internship to get my foot in the door.
But hard work and consistent writing can change everything.
This course is a way for me to pass on what I’ve learned to the eager yet disheartened writers of the world. You deserve to bring your creation to life!
I’m not gonna upload my CV for ya, but here are the highlights:
- I’ve written for major publications including Refinery29, Grazia, Metro and Reader’s Digest
- I’ve published two books and am currently working on my third
- I teach creative writing
- I have no formal qualifications in writing (which is kind of cool when you think about it)
Frequently asked questions
What if I can’t attend the live sessions?
You’ll get access to replays for the teaching elements (e.g. memoir writing, story structure) but the coworking sessions can only be accessed live.
Can I buy the classes individually?
If you choose not to take part in Year of Writing, you can purchase each class for approximately £22 each. Cowriting sessions will not be available individually.
I'm an amateur writer, can I join?
This is designed for writers of ALL abilities, so yes! You are so welcome here!
Do I have to attend every session?
Nope, it’s up to you how much you show up. I’d recommend you attend at least 75% to see some progress.
How much time will I need to invest in the course?
At least one hour per month, but once you get started writing you’ll end up wanting to do more!
Will this course run again?
It will run again in 2023.
Will you give me feedback on my work?
Limiited feedback will be available to VIP members only.
Do I need to show my face on Zoom?
Nope! You can leave the camera off if you prefer.
A LIL NOTE FROM ME: This is a considered purchase and involves both time on your part to get the best results. If you can’t afford this course, please don’t buy it.
