It can be hard to make time and space to write.

That’s why we’ll write with you, side by side. Body doubling, parallel play, writing in community – call it whatever you like, but the results are the same. Writing alongside other people helps you get your head down, focus, and get the stories out of your head.

We’ll meet you on Zoom every Monday of the Write A Novel Festival for an hour of writing alongside other awesome writers to help you get going and keep going with your words.

What happens at write-along?

We all jump on Zoom, have a quick intro, then get writing. Perfect if you struggle to get going, need to some accountability, or just want to escape the solitary binds of a writerly life. This way, you can see that you’ve got a whole big writing community around you and supporting you.

Who are write-alongs for?

Everyone!

  • New or experienced writers who want some accountability or company
  • New writers or experienced writers with a project in progress that has stalled or been put aside while life takes over.
  • New or experienced writers who want to tinker with an idea, or with an idea they want to make a big start on.
  • People who want to drink tea and eat biscuits and write some words in a fun, supportive environment.
  • People writing fiction, non-fiction, academic texts, copy, journalism, poetry, creative non-fiction, genre, high brow, low brow, and anything else that needs an alphabet shuffle.

This event is hosted by ✨Veronique Kootstra✨
