Our Writers’ Community: Group outings

July 29, 2018 by Jacqui Lofthouse Filed Under: Authors, Community, Events, Inspiration, Networking, The writing coach, The writing life, Writers 1 Comment

One of the most unique aspects of The Writing Coach is the strong sense of a writers’ community that we foster amongst all of our clients. We really pride ourselves on this and our community events are open to all our clients from those who enrol in our online course Get Black on White to those who enrol in one of our literary consultancy or coaching and mentoring programmes.

We’re also excited to announce an event which is open to all – our Routes to Publication event at Google Academy on 16th August – a panel event with novelist Louise Doughty, founder of Unbound Books John Mitchinson, Director of the Creative Writing MSt at Oxford University Clare Morgan and founder of Blackbird Digital Books Stephanie Zia. To find out more, click here.

Outing to The Charles Dickens Museum – May 2018

Dickens Museum

This year we had a truly wonderful day at The Dickens Museum. We also had a lovely Carluccio’s lunch prior to our visit where we shared many stories about our writing lives and our writing goals.

Our writers’ community is also really deepened by our fantastic Facebook group – open to clients only – so that when we do meet our clients often feel as if they know each other already. The Facebook community is a fantastic place for asking questions of others and Jacqui – and also a place where we keep each other accountable to our writing goals.

If you’d like to be a part of our community, you can sign up for our online course Get Black on White which gives you permanent instant access or enrol in any of our writing programmes. To find out more do contact us.

Or come along to our Routes to Publication event at Google Academy on 16th August – a panel event where Jacqui Lofthouse will interview novelist Louise Doughty, founder of Unbound Books John Mitchinson, Director of the Creative Writing MSt at Oxford University Clare Morgan and founder of Blackbird Digital Books Stephanie Zia. To find out more, click here. All attendees will also gain access to our community.

Jacqui says,

What I love about our community is how incredibly supportive the members are to each other. Many of our clients are published writers and our outings are attended by our consultants too, so you get to meet and network with experienced writers and to share your thoughts and discuss your ideas about writing with so many like-minded people. One of my aims here at The Writing Coach is to truly support our members in the deepest possible way and I hope these images give a real sense of how we do this. I attend all of the events personally and get to know everyone. There’s no charge for the events beyond your own expenses for the day – so this really is an invaluable resource for everyone who works with us. I’d love to meet you at a future event!

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...
