30 Days to Productivity and Confidence for Writers
Would you like to kick-start your productivity and boost your daily word count? How might your writing progress if you could conquer self-doubt and truly believe in yourself as a writer?
Our self-study writing course is designed to enable you to achieve just that.
Our Founder Jacqui Lofthouse’s foundational programme Get Black on White: 30 Days to Productivity and Confidence for Writers is perfect for any writer seeking a dose of self-belief and wanting to get words on the page.
This course is particularly useful if you want to get going with a writing project and don’t know where to start, or if you are feeling stuck in the middle of a book and need to find your way through, figuring out the path to completion.
Previous course participants have reported emerging from the course more productive, more self-assured and more committed to their writing work.
Novelist Liz Jensen, author of eight novels including the Hollywood-adapted The Ninth Life of Louis Drax used the original Get Black on White ebook and wrote:
“Jacqui Lofthouse’s ‘Get Black on White’ 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 But most of all it’s a practical guide that all writers – published and unpublished – should consider an essential part of their professional kit. It saved that novel’s life.”
Our Founder Jacqui Lofthouse is particularly proud to support the London-based homelessness charity Spear through this course.
SPEAR is a charity that is particularly close to our Jacqui ’s heart. The charity helps homeless people towards independence. Now, for the first time, 20% of your (pre-VAT) course fee goes directly to SPEAR.

A while ago someone asked me, ‘are you a writer?’ and I thought of the many pieces of paper lying around my writing desk, waiting for my perseverance to turn them into a story. Thanks to the optimistic, but insightful and authentic daily content and exercises of Get Black on White, I was able to shift my fear and jump start the engine of my story! The platform is an excellent tool that enabled me to feel guided and encouraged every day.
