Hello writers!
Opportunities to write with me this month
There are two creative writing workshops happening in August focussed on writing place (2 August in person and 15 August online) and I’m also running four birth writing workshops next month.

Feedback from other participants
In case you’re on the fence about attending, here is some of the lovely feedback I’ve received from past participants so far.
"I went to Jen's in-person workshop and it was fantastic. No matter your writing experience or confidence level, I'd really recommend it. The prompts were super powerful and helped me tap into some creative energy I didn't know I needed. Such a great space if you're feeling curious to write more." - Hilary Davies
"Jen has a real knack for encouraging playful curiosity and exploration in her workshops. SHe made it feel like a journey as opposed to what can sometimes be a daunting task known as writing. Her supportive and gentle energy really helped a lot to relieve some insecurities and the imposter voice that creeps within us all sometimes. Thanks Jen!" - Xena Scullard
"Jen created an intimate, comfortable, and creative atmosphere where I felt confident to explore (and even share!) my writing. I left feeling inspired, and the lessons from each exercise have been coming back to me over and over in the writing I've done since. Also, there was chocolate cake - life changing." - Ciaran Maidwell
"Great writing workshop on characterisation. Excellent writing prompts and use of examples to facilitate the writing process. Well thought out and enthusiastically hosted. Highly recommend it." - In-person workshop attendee, July 2025
"The workshop was fun, we were given helpful ways to create a believable character and we ended up with some rich and wonderful pieces of writing. Thank you Jen!" - In-person workshop attendee, July 2025
"Jen's course was very insightful and informative. I learnt a lot, and had a great deal of fun doing it too. Meeting all the other participants was also very nice." - Joanne Bissett
"This first workshop on Character was the perfect gentle but challenging introduction to writing. Before the workshop, Jen promised we would write quite a bit and we would share our writing and I was dubious on both counts. Turns out, we did. And it was amazing! Thanks Jen for cultivating a safe and creative space." Mishkah Teladia
Get a free book
I’ve got a bunch of copies of my books at home looking for homes. I’ve got copies of Living While Feminist, The Fall, and The Peculiars.
So I thought that it would be a great idea to offer a free copy of a book for every workshop booked. A book for a booking, if you will. In person writers will get their book at the workshop. You just need to let me know which book you’d prefer.
If you’re an online person and would still like a copy of one of my books, let me know and if you’re happy to pay for shipping I’m happy to offer you a free copy of a book too.

Happy writing!
