With online co-writing clubs, in-person retreats plus workshops and courses to find inspiration and develop your craft,​ WriteClub will help you establish your writerly voice, take small steps (and giant leaps) towards your writing goals and introduce you to a bunch of really lovely people along the way.

Founded by award-winning writer, teacher and creativity coach Alison Powell, WriteClub will be here for every step of your writing journey.

Thank you for creating such a wonderful thing in WriteClub. This book probably would never have been written without it! It's such an amazing place to learn, develop and grow as a writer. Thank you for being so supportive along the way.

I thoroughly recommend Write Club to writers of every kind, whether fiction, non-fiction or poetry. My children’s novel, School for Nobodies, was immensely improved in the Work In Progress sessions – and found both an agent and a publisher. Alison is most generous in reading and responding to each writer’s words and creates a positive, uplifting and generous environment for writers at every stage of their craft.

J M Joseph,

author of Fire Boy trilogy

Alison Powell of WriteClub is a writer’s dream, a reader who sees your story before you do, an editor with an ear for the rhythm of prose. Her notes helped me carve out the opening for Fire Boy, the novel that helped me find an agent and publisher. Her classes are a godsend for any writer looking for help and inspiration.

Alison is always encouraging, seems so genuinely invested in everyone taking part which was lovely. She created a warm, welcoming space which made showing up to take part very easy.
