You all know that I believe a writer only becomes a true writer when they read widely and outside their comfort zone, while learning to appreciate, critique, practise and hone. Reading is just as much a craft as writing! Here is just one page out of my 25 page downloadable booklist. The themed lists are to die for.

Make sure you've signed up for the latest version, updated just today. Enjoy! There's a free class waiting for you on sign up, too xx

I’m hallucinating. I’m – yes, I must be hallucinating. I’m staring at the screen and it’s just an endless scroll of – wait! I’m not even scrolling anymore! I think my phone is alive! I think it’s scrolling for me! I think it’s– wait, I don’t think anymore, do I? Oh yes, I forgot what I was thinking already. Where was I? Hallucinating, that’s right.

Stop! I just saw a picture of Joan Didion. What does it say? I click.

And then an ad pops up on my screen, and I forget what I –

There was a funeral we were all meant to attend, although we didn’t get the invite in the mail. In fact, there is no mail anymore. There is just the endless scroll of advertisements, pinging and popping on our screens until we nod out heads senselessly, anaesthetised by the colours and tunes – and we are in it, trapped in the brightly-televised room, not walking in the fresh air of the night like Leonard Mead from Ray Bradbury’s 1951 short story, ‘The Pedestrian’.

What is the level 1 HeartWriting course?

A loving return to heart, a platform of creative play, and a deep appreciation of literature.

But the #1 result is that you'll be a better writer, forever. A master of your words.

With 6 years of stunning, sacred and solid classes of learning behind us... now weaved with the magic of retreats, there's never been a better time than to jump in to our ultimate course: level 1 HeartWriting in semester one, followed by level 2 (book projects) in semester two. And between? The Bali Retreat!

We have a strong learning journey that centres around the classical short story: the best teacher of good writing. We also love what a good essayist can teach us. And we love thought-provoking poetry. All of this you'll master, before level 2.

Starts again February.
Runs once a year.
Our best course.

8 x Friday mornings, fortnightly. Writing homework, editing, community of writers, mentoring, a stunning program for lovers of the word.

And there's only a few spots available for 2027.

I tell you what, I’ve been sooooo passionate about what I’m teaching at the moment!

In the Substack course, I’m teaching you the background of feature and essay writing. This is not a fast and furious ‘pump out a few snappy Substack posts’ course. You’re going to find out exactly how powerful this platform is by mastering a form of writing which has somehow been lost in the garbage dump of social media short-form.

The essence of this course is a return to long-form: an appreciation of how the old-fashioned feature article and the 20th Century essayists can teach us a thing or two about how to curate an unforgettable Substack.

There’s so much to it, though, and not all of it can be taught in two lessons.

That’s what the 8 week HeartWriting Workshop is for, starting again February.

This live course/workshop includes writer mentoring and editing on short pieces of writing as you build confidence and skill.

It’s something else.
