Write November

We’re writing a novel whatever makes us feel good in November

In association with Watch this Sp_ce

1. Decide what to write

Join our intro workshop to set your personal goals, work out what’s realistic and reasonable for you, and how you can find most joy in your writing.

2. Figure out how to write it

Set yourself up for the month with a solid plan in place and access to all the many and varied WHQ getting-shit-done resources.

3. Then write it

Alongside a whole community of amazing, supportive, goddamn brilliant writers, with regular events and support to keep you going.

We’re writing! In November!

Sounds familiar, huh?

WELL.

We’re writing the shit out of November, and that means whatever you want it to mean. Holy vague project brief, Manbat!

Look, we love the big ambition of blatting out tens of thousands of words in a month, but for a lot of people getting that done just isn’t possible. Or it is possible but it’s a one way ticket to Burnout Town, and then you’re worse off off than when you started.

So we’re flipping the script.

During Write November, we’re challenging you to write something that makes you feel GREAT. To set yourself a realistic writing goal and explore a creative practice that’s joyful, sustainable and, ya know, fun. Join us!

(IMPORTANT INFO: if we were writing novels in November we’d call it Novelember. Just fyi).

For me, Writers’ HQ is the difference between wanting to write and doing it. The courses, community spirit, and support are invaluable. The people I have met and the things I’ve learned have changed my life. Have a nosey. I did and it was like finding home.

If you write, if you want to write, if you’d love to but believe you could never… this is the place for you. SO many really useful resources written for real people who live in the world and struggle to balance life and writing and keep their confidence up and just keep on going. Really clever, practical, encouraging tips, advice and inspiration.

Write November is run in association with the brilliant Watch this Sp_ce

Watch This Sp_ce are your guides through the workplace diversity and inclusion landscape. They show organisations where and how to get started with inclusion, and make meaningful, measurable progress that aligns with broader business goals. Co-Creators Allegra Chapman and Mousumi Kanjilal Williams are also both writers, and have just released their book The Inclusion Journey, a practical guide to developing, implementing and measuring an inclusion strategy. Allegra is also a neurodivergent person who lives with a chronic illness and disability, whilst mothering two young children. As such, she is passionate about supporting opportunities for writers who face societal barriers to getting their story told. Her book, Creativity Is Your Self-Care, is out now.
