Write The Book

A 12-month membership programme for authors-to-be.

Write The Book is a year-long coaching and mentoring programme for authors-to-be.

Run by Helen Jane Campbell – who’s a coach for creative people – each session includes an expert Q & A with a published author or other industry expert (such as an agent, publisher, editor or similar).

The programme is run in a relaxed, friendly style and members can access recordings of the Q & As if they miss a session. There’s also an optional buddy system, offering you the chance to pair up with another member of the programme, for feedback and mutual cheerleading.

At only £30 per month, this is an affordable way to access expert coaching and mentoring, plus you get to enjoy the community of other authors-to-be.

Whether you’re looking to self-publish, go down a more traditional route or simply get into a writing habit, we’re here for you. Bursaries are available for new writers who need some extra support and are on a low income. There’s a bursary for carers who want to write too. Just email to find out more.

  • "For years, I had an idea for my book but struggled to complete it. Writing my autobiographical work was emotionally draining, and the process felt isolating as I dedicated evenings and weekends to the project."

    Harvey Morton

  • "Helen's Write The Book programme transformed this journey. It connected me with fellow writers facing similar challenges, creating a supportive community where we could: Share our struggles openly, Celebrate our victories together and Provide mutual encouragement"

  • "I thoroughly enjoy the Write The Book sessions and learn so much. It’s not just about writing, but also about motivation, reading suggestions, tips on how to find your inspiration and get your ideas down. It’s about being part of a supportive group, whatever your goals or stage in your writing journey. The speakers are truly inspirational and so open to sharing their knowledge."

What to expect from our September 2025 intake

We have a fabulous line-up of expert guests each year. Our speakers for this new cohort include Heather Fitt of The Crime Writers’ Association, Sophie Haydock of Folkestone Book Festival, Kate Nash Literary Agency and many more.

If you truly desire to write a book, and you want the support you get to be friendly, informal and kind, then you’re absolutely in the right place.

This group will meet on the last Thursday of each month, from 6.30pm-7.45pm (UK time), except in December, when it will be on 18th, and we’ll take a break in August as well always do on this programme. The investment for you is £360, which can be split into 12 interest-free payments over 12 months. This payment fully covers you for the 11 sessions and you’ll receive a small welcome gift in the post too*

You can sign up today or, jump on a short Zoom call to chat about it and ask any questions you might have.

CASE STUDY

Layla Robinson

"Being part of her wonderful online book writing group was incredibly valuable to prepare me for writing my book so that I felt familiar with much of the process of writing and publishing, and once again, to have belief in my own voice."

Layla Robinson, author of Everlasting Blooms, Greenfinch (Hachette)

CASE STUDY

Harvey Morton

“For years, I had an idea for my book but struggled to complete it. Writing my autobiographical work was emotionally draining, and the process felt isolating as I dedicated evenings and weekends to the project.

“Helen's Write The Book programme transformed this journey. It connected me with fellow writers facing similar challenges, creating a supportive community where we could:

  • Share our struggles openly

  • Celebrate our victories together

  • Provide mutual encouragement

“The monthly check-ins became a highlight, offering both accountability and inspiration. During the program, I successfully published "Succeeding As A Young Entrepreneur: Lessons In Life and Business" – a milestone we celebrated as a group.

“Beyond community, the program delivered exceptional value through access to industry experts and agents. This insider knowledge proved invaluable, essentially providing a comprehensive crash course in writing and publishing.” 

Harvey Morton, author of Succeeding As A Young Entrepreneur, Business Expert Press

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We record the expert interviews on request for group members only, but we do not record the group discussions, this is so that you can speak freely about your book ideas and any challenges you may be facing.

  • No, we invest your monthly payments into speaker fees and running this unique coaching programme so we’re unable to refund you if you miss a session. As a group member you will receive email and (optional) WhatsApp updates through the coaching programme in addition to the live sessions to help you stay on track.
