Why join Inquiry of Writing?

You’re a curious creative with a strong sense of purpose. You’re committed to supporting and helping people, to the importance of expression, to connecting from a place of integrity—but when it comes to writing meaningful content, you sometimes struggle.

You want to tell powerful stories. You want to express yourself with more depth and authenticity than you witness in the average social media content. You genuinely want to affect transformation in people; to offer content that resonates, that is relevant, that reflects you and your values.

You’d love to approach writing (including newsletters, articles and ebooks) with more ease and joy. 

I’ve experienced these challenges myself. And I’ve seen in so many others how these challenges can be obstacles to feeling fully, creatively alive and present with those we most want to serve.

The good news is that—in the day-to-day practice of our artistry, our businesses and organisations—we’re already leveraging our curiosity, creativity and innovation.  We just need to learn how to translate it to the act of writing.

What is Inquiry of Writing?

Inquiry of Writing is both a methodology (a process for asking the right questions of yourself) and a purposefully-held, investigative space.

It is:

• a place for exploring and responding to powerful and illuminating questions that anchor self-knowledge and stimulate creativity

•  an online space that offers resources and thought-provoking prompts

•  a community membership that gathers like-minded people to journey together towards more confident self-expression

•  a thinking space, in which you will be inspired to explore new ideas and find permission to deepen those you already have

•  a container of accountability, in which you will get things written

•  a methodology to equip you with more insight into your thinking and creativity, a structure in which to experiment and a place to express and share

•  a process through which you can build a sustained writing practice

The programme is rolling and you can join at any time. We have on average two meetings each month/six meetings per quarter and you can stay as long as you want. However, to get the maximum benefit from the programme, I highly recommend attending for at least six sessions/three months. Payment is monthly by a pre-arranged subscription.

At each session, there’ll be an opportunity for checking in, updating on progress and celebrating achievements. There’ll be prompts and questions, which are designed to function as the stimulus for writing from scratch or as threads you might weave into your existing ideas. There’ll also be opportunities for asking questions of me, or seeking guidance about a specific piece you’re working on.

Central to each session is a sustained block of writing time, during which you’ll work alongside others on content for your practice, organisation or business (e.g. blog posts, newsletter content, scripts for a podcast, e-books and reports, as well as creative pieces and articles).

Inquiry of Writing aims to:

• provide a springboard to fuel your creative content

• stimulate your interest and enthusiasm for creative process

• increase your knowledge and awareness of a range of methodologies so you can begin to master the craft of writing

• provide a defined space for you to write on a regular basis

• connect you with peers who share similar values, intentions and challenges—so we can all be witnesses and cheerleaders on the writing journey

• enable you to leverage powerful questions to increase your self-awareness and its expression in your writing, and to connect more powerfully with others

Regular attendance at the sessions will equip you with an enhanced relationship with your creativity and how to access it, as well as increased confidence in knowing how to convey your values and your message. You’ll have forged supportive relationships with others in the group. You’ll have begun to produce a powerful body of work and will have developed the embodied experience of building a consistent, deliberate writing practice.
