Designed for collaboration and support, The Word Corner explores writing for creative wellbeing and community connection.
Our Philosophy
The Word Corner was established to celebrate the power of writing and its ability to generate creative wellbeing and facilitate connection and community. We explore this through our own practices and by creating opportunities for others to discover and develop theirs.
What We Do
Through creative writing, we create opportunities for people of different ages, backgrounds and experiences to explore their creativity, develop their ideas and connect through words. Here's how we can collaborate:
1. EXPLORE | Creative confidence for children
Creative writing resources, worksheets and booklets, alongside coaching and writing sessions for home-schooled children, students at small schools, and young writers looking for extension and creative challenge. The focus is on nurturing imagination, developing the writing craft, and fostering creative confidence.
2. EXPRESS | Creative wellbeing and writing outcomes for adults
Small-group writing coaching for adults working towards a writing goal, alongside individual and small-group sessions that create space for reflection, self-expression and creative exploration. Whether you're developing a writing project or simply looking to make more room for creativity in your life, there's value in giving yourself the opportunity to write.
3. CREATE & PUBLISH | Support for writers
Manuscript editing and proofreading, plus practical self-publishing advisory sessions for aspiring and independent authors. From refining your manuscript to navigating publishing decisions, we offer support to help you develop your work and bring it to readers.
4. CONNECT | Creativity in community
Creative writing workshops, interactive activities and creative activations for community events and organisations. These experiences invite people within a community or organisation to participate, share ideas, explore their creativity and build connections through engaging, accessible activities.
