Making Time for Writing with Julia Forster

With all the demands on our time it can be hard to dedicate time to writing but showing up to the page is necessary if you are going to get your book written.

We are excited to welcome Julia Forster to our online event all about creating space for your writing. This could be deciding on taking yourself on a retreat to write, creating a retreat-like experience for yourself at home or simply developing the habits, consistency and boundaries needed to create some time for writing in your everyday life and schedule.

Julia will be in conversation with Kelly Weekes, an ICF accredited coach, so both speakers will be able to offer you plenty of tips and strategies to make 2026 the year you do find the time to write.
