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.

Please enquire about bursary options if you’re on a low income and/or a carer

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.

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "I am that person who talks incessantly about writing a book but, until “Write the Book” had done virtually nothing about it. And now…I can’t claim a miracle but…I have written more this year than ever before and, recently, have really found my flow. That does feel like a miracle which is down to Write the Book. More than that, I’ve met great people and benefited from some fantastic guest speakers. I really look forward to seeing the sessions turn up In my diary. They are joyful, fun and just the right amount of challenging."

What to expect from our January 2027 intake

We have a fabulous line-up of expert guests each year. Examples of previous speakers include: author Lola Jaye (pictured) Helen Lewis of Literally PR (pictured), 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 FOURTH Wednesday of each month, from 6.30pm-7.45pm (UK time), except in August* when we’ll take a break as we always do on this programme and in December, when it will be held on 15th. 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. Please note: this is not a drop-in class, membership is for the full 11 months. If you can’t make it to a session we do record the Q & A and you will continue to receive email and WhatsApp support.

*During August you can claim a special price on my in-person two-day retreat in Hay-on-Wye.
*UK only

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

  • 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.
