Write Now! writer development program starts June 30

Limited Places - Register Now

✏️Do you desire to write?

✏️Are you struggling to get going, sustain momentum or gain traction with a dream project?

✏️Are you willing to commit to 10 minutes a day, plus a 1-hour weekly session?

Then the Write Now writer development program may be the right fit. Read on!

I designed Write Now to help you evolve from dreamer to writer in ten weeks as you progress a dream project. It was the program I needed during my many years of on-again-off-again writer's block, to provide structure, support and strategies to help you stay the course.

I do this because I believe that the joy a writing life -- and the knock-on impact for you and your world -- is accessible to anyone who feels called to write, and is willing to answer the call, day after day.

As your guide through this process, I will: 

✏️ Invite you to articulate a vision for the writing life you desire and an audacious writing goal.

✏️Connect you with a supportive community.

✏️Challenge you to establish a consistent writing habit.   

You can adapt Write Now to any type of writing - novels, plays, children's stories, nonfiction, or even a substack -- whatever your experience level, and wherever you are in the world. 

Here's what's included:

 Thank you so much ⁨Joanna⁩ . Write in Ten was nothing less than transformative & I am eternally grateful for the support & inspiration Jo & our community provided throughout. The Land Beyond the Forest is now out there in the world as a direct result of the course xx

Ellie Zeegen, Founder of Firebrand Theatre

The play she wrote during her 10-week development program premiered at the Duns Festival, Scotland, May, 2026.

I am so thrilled . . . to have made progress on my novel project, pulling together a lot of scenes and research to finish a first draft. Joanna provides the structure and guidance to keep creatives on task. The weekly write-ins introduced me to other authors and kept me focused on meeting my goals. Daily, there were great discussions on our group What's App. We had different projects, in various stages of completion, but were all facing many of the same challenges. I learned how to conquer obstacles from my fellow classmates (and their resource suggestions) in addition to Joanna's thoughtful feedback. Write in Ten has convinced me that having the right resources, a plan, and a community are what it takes to keep momentum going!

Being prompted to write every day on Jo’s 10-week online course woke me from apathy. Encouraged to start with just ten minutes, some of us made plans to follow. For me, instead of a plan, I developed an appetite, such that a day without writing now seems flat and unsatisfying!

The main thing I feel much happier! Being/discussing/reading with other writers.
