It’s not about planning your whole year or breaking things down into neat, manageable steps. It’s about pausing first. About grounding yourself where you actually are, reconnecting with why you write in the first place, and tuning back into what feels alive, meaningful and true for you right now.
Expect a brief tour of the updated Writers’ HQ programme and how you can best use it to keep you going this year, followed by a gentle, spacious and inspiring session with reflective prompts, big questions, and a bit of fuck-it energy. A place to think beyond projects and word counts, and to start a creative year that feels vital rather than pressurised.
If you trusted your creative instincts more than your to-do list, what would your 2026 be about?

The widget that lets you sign into the forum with your WHQ login has given up.
We are trying to coax it back into existence. So far neither bribery, begging or crying has worked. We are currently trying shaking our fists at the sky and going ‘grrrr’.
You can still get to the forum though! Do this:
IMPORTANT: This means you will have TWO (2) passwords/logins. One for the WHQ main site and one for the forum. It’s a pain in the arse. We’re sorry. It is temporary, but at least you can dick about on the forum again. OKAY BYE.
Once you hit the button, you’ll get a confirmation email, and we’ll send you the Zoom link an hour before the event.
Check your inbox for details.
If you don’t get an email, check your spam fist and then wang us a line on he**@**********co.uk and we’ll leap into action with keenness and speed.
