WHAT’S HOPSCOTCH?
Six months of structure and support for writers to:
Develop your craft
Get your work into the world
Crack open a stretchy new era of writing
You’ll go from dreaming and scheming without forward motion, to actually making dynamic work that's aligned with you.
You’ll be finishing things, applying for delicious writing opportunities (and funding), building relationships and getting your work out there – even while juggling life, work and everything else.
Monthly 1:1s with me, fortnightly group calls, ongoing support, writing workshops.
Six months of showing up for your practice instead of thinking about it. Yeah!!!
I'll be in touch late 2026 / early 2027 before doors open.
PS, ready to write before then?
Do that with my live and self-paced workshops!
A free 90-minute workshop for anyone ready to finally turn long-circled creative dreams (writing residencies, publications, connections, momentum) into a practical & fun action plan… you’ll actually follow through on!
15 April 2026
8pm - 9.30pm (UK time)
Live online, recording included
You open your notes app and there are 873 drafts you wrote with VIVID URGENCY in the middle of the pavement, and want to do something with them. You've saved funding deadlines but haven't opened a single application form. You constantly carry your work in your mind, but when you sit down to make something, there’s still something missing that’s stopping you moving the work forward.
The gap between dreaming and doing gets wider the longer you wait for the perfect moment to close it. OK then, let’s finally close that gap!
In 90 minutes, you'll:
Name what you actually want — clearly in writing, without worrying about the logistics, or whether you’re “allowed” to want it
Get honest about what's been keeping you stuck
Work through the Stretchy Moves method: small, doable and slightly daunting but EXCITING next steps that gamify and actually build momentum
Build a simple 3-month creative action plan (practical, fun, genuinely you) that you can actually follow
You'll leave with clarity, three concrete next moves, and a roadmap. Yay :)
It’s free. 90 minutes of spring creative plotting!! Register below.
Can't make it live? Register anyway — I’ll share the recording with everyone who signs up.
Dear Diary is an online creative writing workshop exploring diary writing and writing the self.
New date added due to popular demand <3
Sat 10 Jan 2026, 10-11.30am (GMT)
In this age of screens and public sharing, how might we make time for diary writing to connect more deeply with ourselves and what we think?
Diaries and journals are a multi-faceted space for reflection, daydreaming, shame spirals, being boring, being petty, brutal honesty, private practice, record keeping, beauty-seeking, compulsion and ultimately, a deep and creative understanding of what the hell a life is.
Through readings, discussion and guided prompts, we’ll look at how diary-keeping can become a space for truth, noticing, personal reflection (and freedom!) and even creative experimentation.
Together, we’ll read short extracts from writers like Helen Garner, Heidi Julavitz, Olga Ravn, Lou Sullivan & others. Writers who show us what we might write about, and writers blurring the line between personal reflection and literary work.
We’ll explore what happens when we write as if no one is reading, and what those private fragments might grow into (personal fulfilment? essays, memoirs or other creative projects?)
You’ll leave Dear Diary workshop with:
Tools for diary writing, through writing prompts
Greater confidence in your ability to keep up a diary writing practice.
A deeper appreciation of diary writing as creative practice
A sharpened connection to your own voice, life material and and diarist perspective
Approaches to keep you excited about returning to your diary, even when you feel stuck.
No prep needed. Just a love of all things life writing, and something to write with.
Details: Live 90-min workshop on Zoom
Attendees will also get a playback. Workshop limited to 12 spots.
What a previous Dear Diary attendee said:
“I tracked down some old diaries before this workshop and literally all of them start with a shame filled apology for not maintaining my diary practice and the long breaks between entires – but today I’ve realised my diary can just be me coming home to myself without shame, but with excitement and joy.”
Live workshop | Sat 5 Sept 2026, 10am–1 pm (UK time)
In this online workshop we’ll work with a brilliant evergreen method to overcome cycles of Not Making, and discover what we want say in our writing and creative life.
In order to create we only need to do three things:
pay attention to what’s already in front of us
Start scrappily
Repeat: keep going, even when it feels pointless!!
Working with this attitude, you’ll learn the methods of writers, artists and makers of experimental publications who make beautifully simple work from life. Writers and artists like Sheila Heti, Erica Van Horn, Amy Ching-Yan Lam, Joe Brainard and others.
There are simple & delicious organising methods we can use to form fragments of writing and work. You’ve already said so much! In Forming Fragments, we excavate our personal archives: diary entries, emails, old drafts, family stories, shopping lists, camera rolls, phone notes, and other weird places you’d never think to look.
Because: you don’t need to write from scratch in order to create. You only need to have fun! playing with what already exists. And yes, it exists. We honour our material by giving it a physical home, and turning it into a scrappy experimental publication.
Making a small scrappy publication from what exists is a revelatory and simple organising method. You can use it again and again to reveal your unique narrative angles and threads.
Homemade publications are by nature scrappy and imperfect. We are embracing this liberating ethos to create cheaply, quickly & for our creative pleasure.
“I got so much out of the recent workshop I attended. I was really struck by how connected i felt and how easily i became immersed in the prompts. You are so great at what you do, and im so thankful for the boost of inspiration and motivation.” – Sophie
In this 3 hour workshop, we will:
-Act on our desire to make something, without needing to feel completely ready
-Look at experimental books & publications made from existing material
-Gather what already exists from our own ‘archives’
-Edit, cut and collate it for clarity & length
-Lay it out in a simple publication template provided by me
-[Optional] print it out & staple on your home printer. No printer? Don’t worry, you can send me your design file as a PDF and I’ll print & send it to you. UK only, or we can discuss a small fee for international postage.
Ideally you will have access to some design software; (free) Canva, InDesign, whatever you’re comfortable using. No software? You can build with your hands and I recommend you have: a ruler, scissors, stapler to hand.
Maximum 10 participants. All attendees get a playback recording of the session, and access to print templates.
Spots are non-refundable.
Memory Zine workshop is a creatively invigorating way to turn half-finished writing and fragments into a quick, fun and fruitful publication.
In this 3 hour self-paced Memory Zine workshop playback, you’ll be guided through the process of making small memory zines; using written fragments, notes, and everyday words that already exist in your world.
Sometimes it feels easier to start from scratch than to develop what’s already there.
But there are simple and satisfying organising methods we can use to give shape, form, and order to your existing material.
You don’t need to start afresh: you’ve already said so much. Let’s honour that by giving it a physical home and turning it into something real.
Throughout this recording, you’ll be introduced to inspiring organisational techniques used by writers such as Sheila Heti, Erica Van Horn, Amy Ching-Yan Lam and others. You’ll see how making a small, scrappy zine can reveal your preoccupations, patterns, and narrative threads.
Why “Memory Zine”?
Because anything can be a memory:
Diary entries
Words tucked away in old documents
Drafts
Emails to loved ones
Family stories
iPhone notes
Shopping lists
Short stories
Camera photos
Work presentations you’d never consider ‘creative’
Get experimental and transform what already exists into a small memory zine. Learn invigorating organising methods you can return to again and again. Make something physical simply because it feels good.
Zines are by nature scrappy and imperfect. We are embracing this liberating ethos to create cheaply, quickly & imperfectly.
In this workshop playback, you’ll leave with:
Confidence in your ability to play, and create without perfection
A clearer sense of your unique narratives
Fresh ways to organise and understand your writing
New appreciation for everyday life as creative material
A small memory zine: a tangible, scrappy creation of your own memories and fragments
Practical zine-making skills (+ free print templates) as a launch point for future projects
You’ll ideally have access to some basic design tools such as Canva, InDesign, or anything similar.
Prefer to work by hand? Gather some paper, a ruler, scissors, Prit-Stick and a stapler: that’s all you need.
This playback version allows you to move at your own pace, pause when you need to, and return to the material whenever inspiration strikes.
