Reset (or restart) your creative practice.

Reconnect with your writing.

Rediscover your state of flow.


There are so many legitimate reasons why we struggle to write our books, trust me, I know, I feel like I’ve experienced most of them. 

Sometimes it can be life and all its busy demands that get in the way of our book writing goals, be that our jobs, our families, or our seemingly never-ending To-Do list that stops us before we’ve even got started.

Sometimes it’s us! We get in the way of ourselves and can become our own worst creative block with all of our doubts, insecurities and I hate to say it, (but I will), excuses, that sabotage all our good intentions to write.

Or sometimes, it can be the writing itself that gets the way, tripping us up, making us feel stuck, spinning our wheels and going nowhere fast.

The list of reasons why we’re not actually writing that book, we so desperately want to write goes on. And this is why I host The Writers’ Hideaway.

A peaceful, purposeful space for writers to escape the distractions of their day-to-day lives and find some uninterrupted, quality time to dedicate to their writing.

The Writers Hideaway helps you reset (or restart) your creative practice, reconnect with your writing and rediscover your state of flow and in the process, work with me, a published author and Creative-Story Facilitator who can offer as much guidance and support as you might need along the way.

Sometimes all we need is a ‘creative jump start’ to help us shift gears with our writing and start moving forward again, reenergised, creative juices pumping and back in that magical state of flow.

If this sounds like something you and your writing need then join me for my next Hideaway, and let’s see what you can create!

The Horsebridge Arts Centre, Whitstable

PRICE: £40


Here’s what I’ll provide:

  • A full day of uninterrupted, quality time and space for you to devote to yourself and to your writing process.

  • Me, as your Hideaway Host, on hand, all day long to offer plenty of encouragement and support (if needed).

  • The opportunity to have a 40-minute private 1:1 Story SOS (a troubleshooting, brainstorming and creative collaboration sesh) with me at a heavily discounted rate (you can email me for more details).

  • Total autonomy for you to choose what you want to write and how you want to spend your time – it’s your day, you’re in charge.

  • A Creativity Playlist – a selection of ideas and creative prompts to spark inspiration, reignite your imagination, and support your creative process. Whether you’re taking a break or struggling with what to write next, the Creativity Playlist is an ideal way of keeping your creative fire burning throughout the day.

  • The beach, which is only a hop, skip and throw away from the Horsebridge Centre, available at your disposal for walks, paddles, or swims throughout the course of the day, any time you wish . Now what’s more inspiring (or good for the soul) than being by the sea!

  • The creative spirit of Whitstable for you to tap into whenever you fancy as you’ll be perfectly located right in the heart of this beautiful heritage town.

  • Teas, coffees and snacks throughout the day.

Here’s what you provide:

  • A supportive, kind-hearted spirit for yourself and for your fellow writers.

  • Your writing project (or idea) along with your writing materials.

  • Your intention for the day.

  • Your lunch (but there are plenty of cafes and restaurants close by if you want to dine out).
