2. Write & Thrive Creative Writing Group Programme

The Write Wild Method to Write Your Book with Creative Flair, Purpose & Accountability. Everything you need to start, write and finish your book.

Combined creativity coaching, masterclass and accountability group focused on helping you define and achieve your writing goals, finish and publish your book and thrive successfully as a writer.

Most of us are aware of the healing properties of nature, and how we can rejuvenate just by going for a walk in the woods or along the beach. But do you know that your connection to nature is an integral part of your inner ability to create?

Are you aware that writing doesn’t happen solely inside your head, it is actually a whole-body experience. More than that the ability to be a consistently good or even great writer, one who writes with enthusiasm and confidence, stems from your interaction with the natural world, and the wild places that exist within and without.
