(Unsubscribe any time no spam enthusiastic consent only etc and so on)
Starting on December 1 for five whole days, we’re going to send you a leetle creative writing exercise or prompt to get you writing. And at the end of the five days, you’re going to have a brand new story. Or maybe five brand new stories. Or a number of new stories between one and five. Who knows? We certainly don’t. We’re writers, not mathematicians goddammit.
We’re packing into five days what the infernal song does in 12 and what your poundstore chocolate calendar does in 24. We are compact. We are condensed. We are concentrated.
All you need to do is put your name in the thing and we’ll send you all the things. And it’s FREE!
No money? No problem!
The Writers’ HQ Five Days of Write-mas is FREEEEE
- Five awesome writing exercises to get your writing flowing in December
- Daily pepping emails to keep you going
- Access to our super supportive global writing community
- A serious kick up the writerly beehive
The Big Question
We know the big question on your mind right now: why five days and not 12 or 24 like in the beforemas?
We’ve been doing a writerly advent thingmas every year since 2017 (?!?!??!) and we know through SCIENCE and STATISTICS and STALKING that 95% of you bail at day 5 and then feel shit about yourselves for not finishing. No one needs that kind of added pressure in December, and since we’re all about helping you find joy in your writing, we’re capping it at the good stuff.
Consider this the 4-day week of festive shenanigans. Except it’s five days, not four, and five is also not four-fifths of 12 or 24. Don’t ask for clarity. We have none. We’re writers, not mathematicians etc etc. Anyway. It will be short, sweet and absolutely goddamn banging. Have you signed up yet?

Five days of creative writing prompts and exercises, delivered by email and on our course platform.
Do the exercises as a five-day challenge or let ’em sit in your inbox for whenever you’re ready.
Why am i signing up?
Because you’re looking for a wee bit of inspiration and fictional escape from the ridiculousness of the festive period, you want to hang out with the best writing community this side of the internet, and because it will be funny and silly.
Who am i signing up for?
Writers’ HQ helps writers to tell their stories, and to tell them really freakin’ well. We run online creative writing courses and real life retreats for badass writers with not much in the way of time or money.
Is it really free?
Yes it’s free. FREEEE! But we’re obviously going to try to upsell you to Gold Star Membership with promises of an absolutely awesome writerly 2025. But you can ignore that stuff. We don’t care. We don’t. It’s fine.
GDPR and privacy things
We’ll email you during the five days and you’ll also get our writerly newsletter full of awesome writerly things. You can unsubscribe any time you want. Your info is private and we’ll delete it any time you want. Here’s the privacy policy that you’ll never read.
Don’t like swears or memes?
Yeah no we’re probably not for you then. We don’t believe that linguistic purity or literary snobbery have any place in the writing world. If you’re not a match for us, thanks for giving us a go and good luck with your writing – we wish you every success.
