What we’re about
Hello and welcome to our amateur writing group!
If you're curious how writing can help in your everyday life, or if you love everything connected to words, and if you would like to try easy but powerful journaling methods in a friendly set-up and with a glass of vermouth (we're in Barcelona, after all!) – this is your group!
My name is Marusha, I'm a writer, book writing coach, journaling mentor, creator of the Naked Words writing program and founder of Barcelona Journaling Festival. I preach the superpower of feel-good writing to everyone. I use journaling for self-therapy and as dynamic meditation. It also works great to boost your creativity and overcome writer's block if you feel stuck or drained.
Feel free to follow my Instagram account for tips and inspiration!
My workshops are an eclectic mix of simple but efficient techniques such as guided journaling, expressive writing, narrative therapy, and personal storytelling. When we meet, I explain how different techniques work and then we scribble away our thoughts, feelings, and observations.
The group's language is English but you can write in your mother tongue, it's not an issue! Whatever makes you feel good and at ease.
Don't worry, you won't need to read to the group what you wrote (unless you really want to). This is not a fiction writing workshop, it's about your deep inner work and opening up by writing it down.
Why journaling is an excellent self-help method:
- Get to know your real feelings through simple but effective journaling tips
- Structure your thoughts, get honest with yourself and give your life a good seasonal clean-up!
- Write about important events of your life even if you're not a writer
- Get rid of writer's block and enjoy writing in a safe, supportive group of fellow amateur writers!
Everyone's welcome!

Online🌸 GIRLS WHO WRITE BOOKS
Hey fellow writer (or a writer to be!)
If you’ve been craving a creative home, a place to show up as a writer and a gentle circle that keeps you moving toward your book, this community is for you.
Girls Who Write Books is a cosy, grounded membership space for women writing:
✨ non-fiction
✨ memoir
✨ autofiction
✨ self-help / wisdom books
✨ creative essays
*fiction writers are absolutely welcome too — we’re story-driven in every format
It’s a space to stay connected to your book, your voice, and your creative identity — especially through the winter, the best time to cave in, look inward and focus on deep work.
What’s Inside the Membership
December → May
📚 Monthly Live Call (75–90 min)
A mix of:
– creative coaching
– teaching on craft + structure
– themed writing exploration
– mini–hot seats
– space to read if you want to
These calls are equal parts grounding, energising, and nourishing.
You leave feeling like a writer again.
📚 The Creative Gym (light, doable, joyful)
A weekly prompt or micro-challenge to keep your creative muscles engaged. Some weeks it’s a structural task, other weeks a page from your book, a reflection, or a craft experiment.
This is how you build consistency without pressure.
📚 Accountability That Feels Like "OMG I've finally found MY people!"
Tiny check-ins so you don’t disappear from your own writing. Gentle nudges. Honest shares. Celebration of wins big + tiny.
A soft structure that keeps your book-writing fire burning.
📚 Community Space (no special platform needed - it's all on Telegram app, private channel)
Not noisy. Not overwhelming. Just a small group of women who are actually working on real books and want company as they do it.
You get:
– support
– encouragement
– sneak peeks
– honest conversations about doubt, resistance, voice, and momentum
It’s the opposite of writing alone in a vacuum.
📚 Seasonal Momentum
We’ll move through the winter and spring together with intention:
December: setting the creative field
Jan–Feb: deep focus, craft, and consistency
Mar–Apr: shaping the manuscript
May: preparing for what comes next (more chapters to write, editing, agents, self-publishing, sharing)
You will FEEL the arc of your own progress!
✨ What You’ll Get After 6 Months
By May, you’ll likely have:
✓ a solid chunk of your manuscript
✓ a stronger relationship with your writer identity
✓ clarity on your book’s direction
✓ braver, clearer writing
✓ a circle of women who cheer you on
✓ an inner confidence that you *can* finish
✓ a creative rhythm that feels sustainable
This membership is not about pressure or productivity — it’s about staying connected to your book and not losing yourself in the process.
If all of the above feels right, I'd love you to join us in December!
You don't have to live in Barcelona if you want to write with us.
📖 💛 📖 Membership fee:
€65/month (minimum 3 months commitment – first of all, to YOUR writing process)
Special December Offer:
If you join in December → €55/month for your entire membership
Feel free to drop me a message on my WhatsApp if you have questions: +34695844901 (Marusha).
ABOUT THE ORGANIZER:
Hey there. I’m Marusha, founder of Girls Who Write. And yes, I’m that kind of girl myself, too!
Words have been my job all my life, but also my true passion. For years I’ve been working as a lifestyle & travel editor for Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia, and Aeroflot magazines, then switched to teaching storytelling and non-fiction writing. In 2022 I published my first book Not Just A Mom, my own manifesto and dedication to all creative women out there, who have mastered the art of juggling since becoming parents. After that, I realized how empowering a female community can be and how much we girls need our own tribe. This is when the idea of GWW was born.
I have also combined the wanderlust running through my veins, my experience as a travel editor, and my passion for writing to launch GIRLS WHO WRITE retreats. If you’re a words-lover like me, these transformational, creativity-boosting adventures are what you’ve been looking for!
I created the Girls Who Write community to support and include in the creative circle all the women who love words. It doesn’t matter if you’re an amateur novelist, seasoned journalist, screenplay writer, journaling fan, or a pure beginner in writing. Come join us – and never write alone again!
