Writing Club

Are you struggling with having a consistent and structured writing schedule?

Are you still trying to figure out how to make a commitment to your writing goals?

Are you ready to get over your writer’s block or feeling stuck?

Are you tired of waiting for inspiration to strike and are willing to show up for your writing regularly?

Are you craving for a break from anxiety, discontent, and burnout and wondering if pursuing your creative passions is the answer?

If the answers to any of these questions is a yes, then you might be a fit for Writing Club!

Writing Club is a 13-week journey through Elizabeth Berg’s writing book: Escaping Into the Open: The Art of Writing True. As we read and do the exercises in her book, we will learn more about the craft, use our creative muscles, find inspiration, and most importantly, write regularly. We start our first call on June 30 and end in September 22.

How will this work?

We will read one chapter of Escaping Into the Open every week and complete the practice.

We will have a weekly Writing Club check-in call via Google Meet every Tuesday night at 8 p.m. You are required to finish reading the chapter and completing the exercise every week.

We will have a once-a-month in-person gathering at a cozy cafe to write together. 

When do we start?

DEADLINE TO CONFIRM YOUR PARTICIPATION: 5 June 2026

You will receive a copy of the book, Escaping Into the Open, during the week of June 16. Our first call will be held on June 30. You should have finished reading and completing the first chapter and its corresponding exercise by then. We will continue for the next 13 weeks after that. Our in-person gatherings are on the mornings of August 1, August 29, and September 26. Our last call will be on September 22.

How is this different from Write Away?

It is a totally different experience. In Writing Club, there are:

• NO workshops
• NO mentoring sessions
• NO wine and cheese nights
• NO gorgeous home with cozy writing spots
• NO filling and delicious home-cooked meals

Join Write Away for support, inspiration, learning, mentorship, escape, and momentum. Join the Writing Club for consistency, accountability, and camaraderie.

Who is Elizabeth Berg and what is her book about?

Elizabeth Berg writes character-focused novels about women’s lives and personal change. One of my favorite books that has a permanent place in my home library is The Year of Pleasures. I chose Escaping into the Open because it has a 4.6 star rating on Amazon and also has a practice per chapter which Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird doesn’t have. I also was not in the mood to do morning pages and artist’s dates that Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way would have required.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes, you can pay monthly: P3000 per month for three months. Your first payment is due up front and you will receive a monthly invoice at the start of every month.

If you do a one-time payment, you get an 11.11% discount compared to the monthly installments.

Deadline to sign up is on June 5 as the books still need to be ordered. SIGN UP TODAY!

Please note: If you subscribe to the monthly payment plan, you will receive an invoice in your email for the succeeding months.
