Wake Up, Write! Membership

You’re warmly invited to join Wake Up, Write!

This is our monthly writing membership, beginning in 2026 on Monday, 5th January.

This membership is for you if you want to nurture your work, your writing, writing, creative practice, and yourself, your body and your mind, through a friendly, no-judgment, shared, gentle structure, held in compassionate community with others.

WHY A MEMBERSHIP?

This membership is for you if you sense that your writing or work doesn’t need more force, urgency, or self-surveillance, but rather a steady rhythm in which it, and you, can breathe again, amongst supportive community.

​

You are welcome to join us month by month, within a simple rhythm of quiet mornings, with meditation and dedicated shared focus time to work on whatever you wish, with (optional) sharing. You can also join a reflective evening session at the beginning of each month to set your intentions for the weeks ahead.

​

This is not a programme you need to complete. It’s a place you can return to, to feel connected, inspired, and quietly energised.

​

***We also welcome those of you from outside the writing domain***

You’re 100% welcome to join us if you’re doing anything remotely creative, and if you simply want to transform your relationship with time, self, and your creative work.

THE CORE RHYTHM

Morning Writing Spaces

9:00–10:30am | UK time (GMT) | Online (Zoom)

Weekly on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday

 

You’re invited into a genuinely quiet, gentle morning space, arriving exactly as you are. Camera on or off. Microphone on or off. Tea or coffee in hand. Pet on lap (or not). No requirement to speak, explain, or be seen.

​

Each session unfolds in the same soft way:

  • A brief meditation or body-based settling. (*sometimes with gentle music, sometimes not)

  • A moment to set intention.

  • An hour (approx.) of quiet, focused writing (or other meaningful work).

  • Optional sharing at the end.
    ​

You might use this time for creative writing, academic work, life admin, career planning, or simply to sit with a piece of work that’s been waiting for you, in quiet contemplation.

​

What matters most is not output, but discovery and/or re-entry to the work.

​

In these sessions, writing and/or work-work often stops being overwhelming. Things become touchable again. Not through discipline, but because the shared field we create together genuinely soothes.

​

You’re working on your own thing. But you’re not doing it alone.

Evening Reflective Session

7:00–8:30pm | UK time (GMT) | Online (Zoom)

First Monday of every month 

​

This session opens your month, helping you to reflect on the month just gone, and dream forward into the one about to come.

​

It’s a spacious, fun, welcoming evening where you can arrive fully and gently orient yourself toward what’s ahead.

​

There’s room here to:

  • Take stock of where you are (in life, or with your work)

  • Name intentions without shrinking or inflating them

  • Listen to others without comparison

  • Feel buoyed and cared for by the community

​

This isn’t a goal-setting workshop or a space where people have to perform.

​

Sharing is always optional.

​

The emphasis is on tone, pacing, and relational safety—on setting a shared rhythm that makes it easier for you to return to your work in the weeks that follow.

​

Many people experience this session as a quiet recalibration: a moment when writing becomes a place of refuge again.

​

Our first session will be on Monday, 5th Janaury 2026.

MEMBERSHIP TIERS & PRICING

IS THIS FOR YOU?

Our membership may for you if you...

​

  • Want consistency without grind.

  • Want to transform overwhelm into action.

  • Are tired of creative output feeling like it’s a referendum on your worth.

  • Dream of reconnecting with your writerly or creative identity.

  • Long to develop a consistent practice of writing or focused time each morning.

  • Work best with gentle structure and shared presence.

  • Are introverted, or simply don’t want to perform your creativity.

  • Have been circling a project and need a humane way back in.

  • Want to experience accountability as care, not pressure.

  • Want to create a loving commitment to creativity from here onwards.

  • Long for writing to feel nourishing again—not extractive.

 

The A Write & a Pint membership is especially well-suited to you if you value:

  • Quiet over urgency.

  • Practice over performance.

  • Belonging over comparison.

​

This space isn’t about pushing harder or becoming someone you’re not.

 

It’s about returning gently, again and again, to the work and writing that matters to you, in the company of others doing the same. 

"The A Write & a Pint  community is a precious pearl, holding in care so many diverse writers and creative thinkers.

Sean and Shimrit gently, kindly inspire and support all of us, helping us to do the same for one another."
Stu, Community Member
 

MEET YOUR HOSTS

Sean

​

Sean is the founder of A Write & a Pint and is a huge fan of fiction, screenwriting, poetry, memoir, and all manner of other literary forms. He works occasionally as a copywriter for Oxford University Press and a copy editor for ETH Zurich in Switzerland. Over the years, he’s studied with Curtis Brown, Scriptwriters & Co., and MetFilm, and regularly coaches novelists, poets, screenwriters, and memoirists. Sean’s favourite genres are modern, postmodern, existential, and literary fiction—but he’s a big fan of everything from sci-fi and fantasy to thriller and comedy as well. 

Shimrit

​

Shimrit is a writer, researcher, and facilitator, and part of the A Write & a Pint team. She is co-author of Nature of Work: The new story of work for a living age (2021), which blends storytelling and research to explore what we can learn from nature to create healthier working environments. She also hosts writing circles, and is particularly passionate about supporting people to remember themselves as of nature rather than separate from it through creative writing, particularly within urban environments. 

I love the quiet writing opportunities in community, which really help me get things done and in the zone. It was a pleasure to meet so many fellow writers and I loved hearing other people's contributions and what they are passionate about. I learnt so much from the community and they have inspired me. This month has been important for me to slow down, reengage with my passions and cosy up in my writing blanket.
