Taylor Edmonds, founder of Writing for Joy

Writing is transformative

I provide creative writing and journaling workshops that promote mindfulness, self-expression and wellbeing. Through gentle, guided exercises, I provide participants with the tools to explore their creativity in a space that feels warm and welcoming.

With training in writing for therapeutic purposes, I understand first hand the transformative nature of creativity. I show people that anyone can be a writer, and anyone can have a journaling habit that helps them find joy in the everyday.

I have experience working with both adults and young people in a variety of settings. I have worked with community groups, charities, schools and youth clubs, hospitals and corporate clients.

You can book me for an online or in-person workshop, for a one-off or series of events.

A WELCOME SPACE

Writing can be intimidating, but Writing for Joy workshops show you how anyone can be a writer in a space that is relaxed and low-pressure.

joy in the process

We'll write with a focus on the process of creating. I'll equip you with the tools to develop a writing practice in your day to day life.

“It was a gift to work with Taylor – her workshop sessions were rich, honest and supportive of people new to writing. The impact was massive, people felt empowered to write about themselves & the world around them – some reading aloud for the first time.

Taylor’s writing works so well for workshops – it connects on a human level, it’s full of emotion, depth and honesty. People see themselves & their worlds reflected back – it supports them to imagine themselves as writers.”

- Rhiannon White, Common Wealth Theatre

Creative writing workshop for staff wellbeing support

“Taylor delivered a wonderful Writing for Joy online session as part of the Carers Wales Me Time programme for unpaid carers. She was incredibly encouraging, supportive, and calming, creating a safe and welcoming space where participants felt comfortable sharing and taking part.

Her gentle approach and thoughtful guidance allowed everyone to engage at their own pace, and feedback from carers was overwhelmingly positive. The session was uplifting, meaningful, and clearly had a lasting impact on those who attended. We would happily work with Taylor again and highly recommend her as a facilitator.“

- Jane Trezise, Carers Wales
