"These sessions are a real high point of my month! A non-judgmental gathering of those who just want to get in touch with their joy through writing, bringing as much or as little energy as we have that day. A perfecr reset for busy lives with racing minds! Taylor is warm, inclusive, creative and exceptionally kind: the ideal host for something so cosy and vibrant!"

Journal Club FAQs

How does it work?

Journal club tickets are added to our website once a month. Once you've purchased a ticket through the product page, you'll receive a confirmation email with a zoom link for the session.

If you can't make it on the night, don't worry. An email is sent out after the event with a link to the recording, and a copy of all the prompts from the session.

Do I need to be a writer to join?

Absolutely not! Journal Club is open to all - whether you're completely new to a writing and journaling practice, or if it's something you already do.

You'll be guided through set prompts during the session, so there's no trying to magic something up from a blank page.

How much does it cost?

I'm passionate about keeping Journal Club as affordable and accessible as possible. With this in mind, tickets are available as a pay what you can option between £4-£8.

Do I need to have my camera on/share my writing?

There's no requirement for you to be on camera or share anything in the session. Between prompts, I'll invite you to share reflections/excerpts in the chat if you wish, but that's completely up to you. You're just as welcome to kick back and relax!

What do I need to join?

You'll need to be able to log into zoom (you can do this on your laptop app or browser or on the mobile app) which is free, a cosy and quiet space, and something to write with. Bonus points for a hot cuppa in your fave mug and a candle!

“This journaling club is perfect for me - one hour, once a month - bringing together a group of reflective writers, and with a focus on nature and the movement of the seasons. Activities include the use of guiding prompts and reading poems together. I find it enriching and consistently enjoyable!”
