Begin or Create Something

The challenges we address for our writers

Find connections, widen your network, share similar challenges, meet other writers that can keep you informed, use your experience to respond to their challenges too. We will also draw in authors to talk about their books, or publishers and editors to talk about their ideas and about readers’ expectations.

Mostly though it’s about defending time to write, and space to help you reflect with constructive responses. We also want to be a bit of a fog-horn to promote success.

So we help by creating opportunities to share your work, to connect with other interested readers, and get feedback from them. We can help keep you accountable to the commitments that you make to your writing, and also help in overcoming challenges. We can also share with you new knowledge and where and how to get specific advice to help move you forwards.

We are working to:

  • Build networks that are local and online
  • Inspire confidence and knowhow
  • Support creative expression
  • Overcome isolation

  • In person events
