Writers Ink is a proven online writing coaching and mentoring community that I run with NLP and business coach, journalist Maria McHale. In Writers Ink we tackle all the mindset issues writers face (writers’ block, imposter syndrome, fear of succcess/failure) as well as improving your writing. The group featured on RTE news during lockdown (see below) and has been thriving through some challenging times. Originally started as a Facebook group, Writers Ink is now running on the Mighty Networks platform.
If you’ve ever promised yourself that you’ll develop better writing habits, or struggle to get motivated and stay motivated with your writing, then community and group support is invaluable. Have you forgotten the fun of writing and lost your writing mojo? Are you keen to develop a writing style that has passion, pace and grips the reader? Do you want to get published?

Neil Tully – Author Interview
Another fabulous author takeover in Writers Ink this evening (June 23rd), and this time we were talking to Neil Tully, author of the sensational The Visit!
So much wisdom, I’m going to be quoting Neil at every talk I do – an hour packed full of tips and deep thinking on the writing process – the over arching message? Write because you love it.
Just brilliant!!
If you need mentoring and writing support, we’ve got you at Writers Ink. If you want a fabulous read, pick up The Visit!
Rosemary Hennigan – Author Interview
We had a brilliant chat with Rosemary Hennigan this evening (June 2nd) about how she wrote The Hotel Guest with our Writers Ink online coaching and mentoring group – and they had so many excellent questions!
The Hotel Guest is a dual timeline dark academia novel about a group of philosophy researchers set in the French Alps – I loved it! It’s out now and will have you enthralled.
Maria McHale is my partner in Writers Ink, an expert coach bringing mindset and NLP techniques to writers while I do the writing stuff – it’s a brilliant group and gets real results (bestsellers!)
We do an author interview every month getting behind the scenes on their inspiration and technique. You can find out more at: https://ink-for-writers.mn.co/
You really don’t have to do it alone…
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the questions above, come and join us in a proven online community where we have taken many writers from unpublished to published and will help you build a writing career. Writers Ink will change your writing life!!
Writing can be scary. Your main block might seem to be knowing where to start – the terror of the blank page – and the many, real stumbling blocks, along the way. But often that block is something else…There is no reason in the world why you can’t write regularly and finish that story or book – the only thing stopping you from doing so is often yourself.
But you can change that. And we can help you.
That’s what the Writers Ink community is all about.
Writers Ink is a nurturing environment, one that will enable you to finally realise your writing dreams. And all for less than the price of a cup of coffee a day! For a monthly charge of €59, you can join a community of writers who are going places, in skill and confidence. This is what our week looks like:
Monday: Ask Me Anything – I’ve been working in publishing for over 20 years, and I have a rare 360 degree experience that encompasses self publishing as well as trade publishing. If I can’t answer your question, I know someone who will be able to help.
Tuesday: Every Tuesday I give writing tips, usually based on a question from the group, or perhaps an update on what I’m working on. From agent submission tips to how not to mess up your timeline, these are delivered in text or video, and I love answering any questions that they throw up.
Wednesday: A word or picture prompt designed to mine your creativity and develop your prose. We publish a word or picture prompt for you to respond to in 350 words (many of these pieces have gone on to be shortlisted or win flash fiction competitions.) Critique is optional but the group will comment and make suggestions. One of the picture prompts has given me an idea for a whole new series!
Thursday: Post 500 words of your Work in Progress and I will critique as many as I can personally, but the group will also give their feedback – which is always constructive, incredibly useful and at this stage, many of them are experts at giving feedback.
Friday: Friday is all about your weekly wins – it might be showing up in the group, doing the Wednesday prompt or getting out for a walk. No win is too small (or too big!)
Maria and I step back at the weekends, but the group is open 24/7 and some of the funniest shares are at the weekend. As well as our daily structure, Maria and I do a live chat one evening each week, we also have monthly author takeovers when we interview authors live in the group and they answer your questions. My agent Simon Trewin is on hand to review our members work in monthly sessions and he and I have an Industry Insider live discussion every month where members can ask questions. We share competitions, submission opportunities and useful articles and we’ve a section of ‘Guides’ that contain all the previous posts so you can reference plotting or character building, submission tips, or info on how to write a synopsis whenever you need it. If you need 365 picture prompts for fiction, or 365 for non fiction, we’ve got them!
Writers Ink makes a real difference to our members’ writing and gives much needed support.
Writers Ink is a private online group with a monthly subscription of €59 per month. You will get mentoring, coaching and invaluable support for your writing plus the support of a wonderful group of like minded writers.
