A writing journal is one of the best-kept secrets. It brings clarity to your mind and on the page and gives you agency over your writing. This simple powerful tool takes minutes to practice, saves years of muddle and heartache. It shows you how to outwit writer’s block and amplify your approach to writing with passion and curiosity. It can also help you to finish your book, focus on what matters, master your craft and build a relationship with your writing. 

 

Join Lucy van Smit, award-winning author of The Hurting, to see how a five-step process and A Writer’s Journal Workbook can transform your writing life, help you become a more fulfilled writer and empower your writing craft. 

 

This interactive masterclass is suitable for emerging writers and experienced writers seeking tools to revitalise their creativity.

 

" I found this book SO valuable - it allowed me to step back and really think about my writing practice. It works for someone just starting to write too, as it takes you through all the important basics.“ Louie Stowell, bestselling author of Loki, Waterstones Book of the Month
