Self-Paced Creative Writing for Creative
Wellbeing Course
With Aoibh Johnson
Lifetime access to a nurturing creative journey.
Who is this course for?
for those feeling stuck or blocked creatively
If you've found yourself in a creative rut or haven't engaged with creativity in a meaningful way in a long time, this space is for you. This course is designed to take all of the pressure away from creating. It's not about being “good.” It's not about rules. It's not about spelling, punctuation or grammar. It's about self expression, exploration and creative freedom. Each workshop focuses on a different facet of creative writing and pairs that with some colourful prompts, ideas and forward-thinking suggestions to set you free from creative limitations.
for those searching for wellbeing support
I am so passionate about how this work has the power to help you feel better about yourself, your life and your ability. It's more than a creative writing course. It's more than a space to better your practice. It's about giving you a space to connect deeply with who you are and your wellbeing. Each workshop is designed to encourage you, remind you of your greatness and nurture your mental health. The feedback from previous students has proven this to work and I am so grateful to offer a safe space for you to thrive.
for total beginners and consistent crafters
This course has been carefully designed to be suitable for total beginners who haven't explored this side of themselves and simultaneously, it is suitable for consistent crafters who need some consistency, encouragement and creative inspiration. We all need a nurturing practice to keep us engaged and improve our self esteem. If you're worried you “can't do it”, then this is the space for you! Or, if you're feeling a little stagnant lately, you'll find solace here. This course is for all abilities and all levels of experience.

1. Will I be able to submit my work for feedback?
You are welcome to submit your work to me via the specific submissions email address (which you'll find within the course!). Each month, I will give feedback to students where possible. I cannot guarantee that you will receive feedback on every piece you submit, every month, but you will be entitled to at least three responses throughout the year. If you'd like to book a 1:1 feedback session, delivered via Zoom, you're more than welcome to email: [email protected]
2. Do I have to complete the course within a particular time frame?
Absolutely not! You have lifetime access and can take your time every step of the way. There's no pressure to move on if you're not ready and you can complete modules if that feels good for you.
3. Will I receive updates and changes as the course grows?
Yes, absolutely! If I make the decision to add resources, updates lessons or change things (for the better!), you will get full access without extra payment. If I release any other offers that compliment the course, you will also be the first to know and will receive student-exclusive discounts.
4. What if I have never written before? Will I be able to do the course?
Absolutely! This course is designed to support both total beginners and avid writers. The course is gently paced and meets each participant where they begin. Remember to take your time and if there's anything that you're unsure of, don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]
5. I'm worried about the fact that I'm not the best at spelling, punctuation and grammar. Will this matter?
As your creative writing teacher, please hear me when I say, this absolutely does not matter! So often, we're worried about this, because we struggled at school or in the past with spelling, punctuation, grammar, format and structure. In this course, we're forgetting about that and focusing more on the creativity. The only time we'll worry about this, is if your work is being prepped for public release. If that is the case, let me know in your submission email and we'll take a look! It really doesn't define how wonderful you are as a writer!
