A dedicated weekly writing group.
With awesome people, authors, poets and screenwriters.
You may have landed on this page because you are on a mentorship, or simply found it online. But this online writing group has been running for a number of years and is one of the key success factors in all our mentorships.
You can simply join it and write, and don't have to be on a mentorship at all.
It may have been years ago when you started your writing journey on a course, or it may that you are at the start. We know how hard it is to keep walking down this path as a writer. We are going to make sure you do. This is our very best way to support and nudge you along the path - by having focussed and committed writing time in your diary.
This is a subscription-based community and we do a lot of writing every week, and even more in a single month. Each week you will find us online to push you forward, give advice or feedback.
We are strict, coupled with oodles of love. Join us on this ongoing commitment to your writing. We also have a lot of fun, connect and share the journey of writing.

Tackle and finish any writing project in your heart

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The rate is $20 per month and it is a monthly subscription.
You can cancel it at any time. As part of it you get all these things...
1. Unlimited access to our online WEEKLY WRITING SESSIONS
Every single Wednesday there is a writing sprint session. We gather from 11am-3pm UTC/GMT (please do check what time it is in your own timezone and that its not the middle of your night) and hang out and write. Sounds boring? Then this group is not for you! We are all writing, and many writers will be on mentorships, but we also connect, chat and share. You can join for one hour, or all four hours each week and can be working on any project (writing or book related). One of our regulars is making a photo book. Join and get your writing locked down and in progress.
2. Join the MONTHLY THREE DAY WRITING IMMERSIONS
Every month we have three days of solid and real writing. These happen on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday and we spend this bulk of time writing. It is a sure way to progress your writing... up to 24 hours of solid work and this will get your book to the finish line.
Drop ins or non-subscription rates are $40 per retreat.
