What are people saying about the course?

Novelist Liz Jensen used the original Get Black on White ebook:

online writing course, literary consultancy, writing mentor
Liz Jensen – author of ‘The Ninth Life of Louis Drax’

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 But most of all it’s a practical guide that all writers – published and unpublished – should consider an essential part of their professional kit.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. – Liz Jensen, author of The Ninth Life of Louis Drax

Paola Fonseca is a client of The Writing Coach:

Paola Fonseca, Writer

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. – Paola Fonseca

Angela Gabriela Horne, writer

Because of this course, I made peace with The Muse after years of armed resistance. I now welcome the blank screen. My writing is consistent. I trust the process as my novel unfolds in richer ways never before possible. Thank you. – Angela Gabriela Horne

Denise Gow, author of ‘The Lost Madonna’

I liked the layout and the fact that you click the button to say you’ve done that part. It felt totally original… It felt as if I were in a private cave with your voice as coach and supporter. I shifted from writing a story I wasn’t enjoying – over to a different one which I did enjoy. It became an exciting and productive creative time. I haven’t finished the course yet, but I’m stretching it out at the moment, like a really good book that you don’t want to finish…. Once I opened it up properly, I soon became a new person and imperceptibly I stopped writing what I’d started and picked up something else and was filled with the excitement of completing a novella during the course. My energy picked up as I continued. After a while I was in absolute synchronicity with what was coming up and what I was doing. So, couldn’t be happier Jacqui. – Denise Gow

The first in our series of book ‘Acknowledgement The first in our series of book ‘Acknowledgements’ pages - for the work our Founder @jacquilofthouse does with writers. Here @sacuthbert Sara Bailey’s ‘Dark Water’ published by Jacqui’s imprint of @blackbird_bks @nightingale_editions 

It was such a joy to work on this book and to visit Orkney for the launch. 

“I couldn't help but be fascinated by this book. It uses the Orkney setting beautifully, and the islands are intertwined with the story of a woman facing the past she'd evaded for years: both in the clarity of the light and the roughness of the sea. It uses suspense and structure with skill ...The final scene was brilliantly described. Suspense, sex and selkie girls: irresistible!” – Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun, Winner of the Wainwright Prize 2016

During these days when we can’t yet be together During these days when we can’t yet be together again, it’s great to look back at the fun we’ve had together as a writing community.

Here’s a flashback to 2018 when the wonderful @landrylie hosted The Writing Coach’s Routes to Publication evening at @googleacademyupc (thank you Dan!)

Who’s looking forward to such events again as soon as it is safe to do so? 

What kind of events for writers both online and in person would you love to experience?  Here we were with @louisedoughtyauthor @blackbird_bks @johnmitchinson @roopafarooki @alicejolly_

My latest newsletter -link in bio “2021 repres My latest newsletter -link in bio 

“2021 represents a fresh start for so many of us. After a year like the one we’ve just lived – we have so much to say and so many stories to tell…
If you’re anything like me, you have a book (or play or poetry collection) just waiting to be completed – and probably another idea lined up for after that – and you are determined to get that idea down on the page this year.
We’ve all been shaken by the experience of 2020. How could we not be? We’ve witnessed a fundamental shift in our reality. Of course, everyone’s experience of the past year is different. Yet one thing I do know: in the midst of the losses and the grief, the loneliness and the heartache, it has also been possible to grow creatively, to experience moments of exquisite wonder and to glimpse the first signs of new possibilities ahead.”

I’m super-excited to have just launched my new M I’m super-excited to have just launched my new Membership group for writers ... Inside Story!  (Link in bio)

It’s aimed at writers who are serious about completing a book (or play/screenplay/poetry collection) in 2021! All writers will be welcome from beginners to published professionals. There will also be weekly 'write-ins' by Zoom to write alongside others, special guest authors and downloadable resources.

The weekly classes on Zoom will cover aspects of craft, focus and productivity as well as the industry and marketing our work. It’s for writers internationally, not just in the UK as classes will be held in different time zones. I’d love to see you Inside...
