Bringing Light to the Dark - The Power of Weaving Patchwork Stories on Substack

Lights up!

Hi all

It is a joy to connect with copywriter

Aimée Francis

who is fast becoming one of my favourite writers here on Substack. We connected ahead of our workshop next week just to explore a little of the connection for you.

I’ve invited Aimée back to work with my members community because there’s a level of sophistication and certainty that she works with in her copywriting work that helps us stay true to ourselves here.

I’ve heard from a lot of you it can feel hard to own your space, your voice, your why in a sea of new, established writers/ celebs/ tik-tokers/ bestselling authors arriving weekly. I know lots of you are feeling flat right now.

We are doing this work with you… we are curating our echo chamber to be nourishing and joyful. We’re here for your work and your words. May they be a balm and create ripples of beauty and inspiration where they land.

Here are the details (scroll down for the link)

You’re invited to our

Gentle content planning workshop

Thursday 14th November, 9.30am UK time

(Replay available)

And so to a gentle plan, a way to give you space to take time off when you choose…

With autumn coming to a close and winter setting in here in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s time to gather your creative ideas and prepare for the months ahead.

Join us for a gentle workshop as we carve out intentional time to shape our content, posts and plans to close the year.

Using a word of the month as our starting point, we’ll explore ways to create a clear content plan that captures your unique voice and storytelling style.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a flexible framework for three months of content that feels authentic, accessible, and inspiring to sit and write. 

This workshop is for creatives who want to plan ahead without losing their soulful spontaneity. We know that on Substack, content isn’t limited to written posts—it could be audio, video, or stories shared through comments and conversations. You might also be creating elsewhere too.  

Whether you’re more of a writer or a multi-format creator, our session will help you refine your vision and shape it into a thoughtful plan.

Let's weave a little bit of magic into our winter storytelling and deeply connect with the people who want to read our work.
