Monthly Membership available for Open Writing Tuesdays

Do you have an urgent writing project to finish, but you have not even started?

Are you blocked and do email, cleaning or social media – anything else but writing?

Do you want to find more time to write creatively, but something else always gets in the way?

Here’s my good news for you:

• A weekly writing space helps you unblock, focus, and get stuff done.

• Working in a group with timed sprints creates 100% accountability and gets you in the flow quickly.

• Joining my co-working sessions boosts your confidence and helps you build a support network of global writers beyond your physical writing space.

Join my Open Writing Tuesdays every week of term, 9am-13pm UK and Portugal time.

Each Tuesday session includes 4 hours of focused-led writing where you will find ample time to progress with your writing, goal planning and setting. We will set goals and learn with other and be supported by an international community of global like-minded writers.

You will also get easy tips on wellbeing whilst silently co-work on your writing project....with JOY!

Feedback from earlier participants

"I have been so impressed with the virtual structured approach to writing. It has helped me immeasurably at an incredibly difficult time."

“Participei numa sessão do The Writing Cottage com a Joana Pais Zózimo e fiquei agradavelmente surpreendida. Não com a Joana, que já sabia ser uma excelente profissional, mas com os resultados da sessão. Numa palavra diria que o output dessa sessão, no meu caso, se traduziu em DESBLOQUEIO. Tratou-se de uma sessão absolutamente inspiradora, em que através das metodologias de trabalho adoptadas, fui desbloqueando o cérebro para a escrita e para o foco na tarefa. Iniciei a sessão com uma página de word em branco e terminei o dia com um draft completo de um artigo que precisava de ser escrito já há muito tempo”.

"Social writing has been especially helpful during the global pandemic while we are socially distancing. These sessions may be life-changing!"
