Get Black on White

Jacqui Lofthouse has made it her personal mission to understand what motivates writers, what is the source of our creativity, and what gets in the way of it.

Liz Jensen, novelist
“Jacqui Lofthouse’s ebook was incredibly useful to me at a time when my writing became stuck. There’s such a clever mix of advice on inspiration and craft. But most of all it’s a practical handbook that all writers – published and unpublished – should consider an essential part of their professional kit. It saved that novel’s life.”
- Liz Jensen, author of The Rapture and The Ninth Life of Louis Drax
What is the main block to finishing a book and getting it published?
Writing Coach Founder Jacqui Lofthouse
Jacqui says:
“It’s a myth that a sound knowledge of ‘technique’ and an ability to tell a good story are all that’s needed to write a publishable book. You may be the most talented writer alive but if you’re like most writers, you’ve probably discovered that your talent alone isn’t enough. Yes, dedication to your craft is vital, but many apparently dedicated writers are not finishers.
It’s not uncommon to spend months, even years procrastinating about writing: researching, making notes, thinking about writing, writing articles to promote your ‘platform’ or attending writers groups, indeed anything other than working on a solid draft of the book. Worse, some of us get so frozen with self-doubt that we have periods where we don’t write at all. We’re so worried about getting the plot right that we are afraid to write a scene. Or else we have a draft of a novel, but we’re afraid we may never be able to form it into a finished version, so we keep writing more fragments but never pull it together to make a whole.”

What do writers say about Get Black on White?
“I just wanted to say thank you for the guidance and inspiration that the 30 day coaching program is providing me with. Yesterday, I was struggling to write – but I sat down and got on with it, and had a big insight. Today it was all about unraveling an image. I unraveled the image and discovered much more – I continue to be surprised by the power of the unconscious! I look forward to the next 16 days – and many more – of writing!” – Olivia Sprinkel
“Jacqui Lofthouse’s ebook gave me focus and renewed purpose at a time when I was not organised enough to do much other than run away to the country with it on a laptop. As with all Jacqui’s work, it is beautifully written and a delight to work with. I am drawn to reflect on her insights frequently as I pursue various projects, especially the advice to allow the unconscious to provide insights into fiction. I’m going to print it up for my reference shelf.” - Genevieve Tucker - Journalist and author of Reeling and Writing Blog
“Jacqui Lofthouse’s ebook is the most brilliant piece of writing instruction/motivation/inspiration I’ve ever come across – and, believe me, I’ve come across a lot in my time. In a nutshell, it’s a 30-day programme designed by novelist and writing coach, Jacqui Lofthouse, aimed at getting you to write 1000 words a day – and it’s definitely working for me.” - Annie, Writer

“I’m not blocked, I’m just resting”
When you engage with your work regularly, the work develops in unexpected ways
There are many reasons why writers become blocked. It may not be a permanent state of affairs. Indeed, many writers may not be blocked at all. They may simply be, in actor-speak, resting. Conversely, they may be writing, but at a pace that a snail might laugh at.
Jacqui Lofthouse wrote this book to help reveal what stops so many writers from achieving their own enormous potential.
