***This is a 2-week-long sample of the membership we'll be running in 2026, all year round.

...

Hi there!

If you're looking to radically transform your creative life in 2026, please consider joining us for this 2-week trial of the membership we'll be launching in January.

We're asking for only £15 for all 7 workshops/writing spaces, as a nominal fee (*the price will be higher than this, of course, when we launch the full program next year, so this is the perfect time to get it and see if it's a good fit for you).

Once you RSVP, you will be welcome to join us for:

• 6 x morning writing spaces
• 1 x evening reflection space
• A WhatsApp group for ongoing sharing, support, and writerly guidance.

...

Kick-Off/The Reflective Evening (7pm to 8:30pm, Monday 8th December)
***Usually, in the full membership, this session would land at the end of the month, so that we all have something to reflect on, but for the trial here, it will be at the beginning, for us to be together and set the intention and tone for all that you'd like to achieve.

In the one-off reflective evening session, we'll convene to have some fun getting to know each other.

We'll create a space in which people can contemplate, articulate, and potentially even share their intentions for the coming two weeks (whether that's creative writing work or just work-work, related to your life, career, or some other creative endeavour).

This session will be designed to be fun - not taxing or work-heavy. :)

The Morning Writing Space (9am to 10:30am - Tues, Weds, Thurs - starting Tues 9th, ending Thurs 18th)

This is a genuinely quiet, gentle morning space online (Zoom).

You're very welcome to roll out of bed and join us with your tea or coffee in hand as you gradually start to wake up for the day.

We invite you to join with your camera and microphone on or off - it's completely up to you!

No need to talk or be seen, unless you genuinely want to be.

Together, we'll:

• Close our eyes for a quiet body-scan meditation/visualisation.
• Set our intention.
• Settle into an hour of free, quiet writing (*or... whatever you would like to use the time and space for!)
• Open a space at the end for sharing if anybody wants to.

*Note: This morning space is open to writers, freelancers, work-from-homers, or ANYBODY who simply wants to make use of the quietness and community, to make progress with their own work. In our recent 30-day writing challenge, people used it variously for creative writing work, life admin., academic work, and career planning. It is simply the perfect opportunity to apply yourself, gently and without judgment, in the company of other people who will be there for accountability.

Testimonials for our recent group work

"It was an amazing experience and would love to do it again."

"I’m a bit of an introvert but knew that i needed a community in order to force myself to get back to writing & i’m so glad I joined the challenge. I genuinely want to offer you both my thanks, as i’ve written more in one month than I have in years and just don’t think i would have by myself. You have created something special here, definitely keep doing whatever you’re doing! Oh and I wanted to share other groups to write with but I don’t anymore, as I don’t think they compare. You guys are the best!"

"I loved participating in this 30 day writing challenge. I discovered so many unexpected and lovely things about how I like to write and what I would like to explore. All in all a wonderful experience, thank you!"

"The month has been enriching and so supportive. Have felt held and encouraged and greatly appreciated the mix of ways to contribute and inspired by the collective energies of the community. Absolutely will be recommending future events wherever appropriate.❤️"

**"**The WnP community is a precious pearl, holding in care so many diverse writers and creative thinkers. Sean and Shim gently, kindly inspire and support all of us to do the same for one another. It is, by far, filled with the best people I have had the privilege to know, and has had a genuine and lasting impact on my ability to move my writing forward thanks to the support of everyone."

"Thank you for bringing me into this lovely, supportive community of writers brought together by the fantastic Sean and Shim. My creativity has been nurtured and my thinking stimulated - taking part in this challenge has genuinely accelerated and levelled up my writing and I’m so excited to see where I go with it next!"

"It’s been a really wonderful month! I’m so grateful to you both for your care, kindness, and support, and for always creating such a welcoming space. The morning writing sessions were my favourite and I looked forward to every single one of them."

"The month nourished my creativity and was super helpful to get me writing again. We had lovely sessions (I took part online and in person) and I am already missing the community and gentle encouraging support to keep going!"

"I was inspired on all fronts - the beautiful community, the session topics, the one to one coaching. It all helped me reconsider my work, break through issues and revitalise my enjoyment of writing."

"I've really loved this challenge and can't thank you both enough for reaching out and encouraging me to take the plunge on things. Even though I wasn't able to be as involved with sessions or the group because of my work (I could have done so much more writing); I've really benefited from having the group education, support and community. I've been going through a really hard time recently, I was even feeling dejected by writing which has always been my safe space. This challenge and community has helped me regain my confidence tenfold and has really encouraged me to keep doing what I love. The relaxed and down to earth nature of how you have run the challenge has been a breath of fresh air. I've been put off so many times by high costs and pretentiousness making me lesser because of being from a working class background. W&P has changed that for me and I am incredibly grateful."

"I’ve really enjoyed the 30 days on the course. It’s been incredibly nice meet different people via Zoom and listen to their brilliant ideas, including what they might be working on. I especially liked the varying lessons which were delivered twice weekly – nothing like an extra arrow in one’s quiver. One of the main benefits for me, I felt, was that it almost forced me to make time to write so I’d have something to share with all. I would certainly recommend anyone to join one of the courses as its open to all people, no matter what standard you are. Sean and Shimrit are excellent and easy going teachers who love what they do."

"The challenge was perfect for me this month. Rather than the big, unachievable goal I had of 'finish the book', I have achieved the challenge of writing 10,000 words of my book in a month. It's a digestible, achievable goal which helped me recommit to my writing rather than it just feel like a huge unachievable burden. And I could start enjoying it again. The workshops were great and I enjoyed the different styles. I especially like the quiet writing opportunities in community, which really helps me get things done and in the zone. It was a pleasure to meet so many fellow writers and I loved hearing other people's contributions and what they are passionate about. I learnt so much from the community and they have inspired me. This month has been important for me to slow down, reengage with my passions and cosy up in my writing blanket. I've really appreciated the challenge and space."

"You know I love you both and I think Shim in particular has done a phenomenal job with the WhatsApp group. I haven't engaged with the challenge nearly as much as I hoped I would - but it's been great to meet new writers and experience the community spirit - and my lack of writing/engagement is entirely down to me and not you!"
