Your writing wings!

January. Hands down, this is my favourite month for writing. 

I love all of it. Strolling through the bush, cloud-watching, space to be idle. Slow days that allow you to fully recharge for a year of writing and creativity.

What is it that your writer’s heart wants to achieve this year? 

What projects are you mulling over? What truths and fictions are you pondering?

My planning tip to get the most out of your writing in 2026 is to decide what you want to achieve before these lovely January days leave us. Then launch into your writing rituals in February. 

Thanks so much to everyone who sent through writing samples after attending Is your inner author calling? I thoroughly enjoyed reading these.

It’s not too late to send your writing sample through for review. Don’t wait until your writing is perfect. Just email it! 

So excited to share our 2026 calendar with you.

We have some fantastic new courses and retreats to help writers at all stages carve out space and creative support for their writing. This includes Chapter One, our four-part course at the Trentham Neighbourhood Centre. We also have two amazing retreats in Sicily and our first four-day retreat here in Trentham. 

Love to hear from you at any time.

May your writing take flight during 2026!
