Welcome!

The Write Nook is a site for aspiring authors, writers, and story-tellers.

We offer:

  • Free lessons on the writing craft
  • Lists of resources
  • Annual writing competitions
  • Giveaways
  • Writing Prompts
  • Professional editing services
  • and much more.

Currently, we have two different “courses”:

  • CREATIVE WRITING 1 (“CW 101”): this is a series of lessons on the craft of creative writing. Whether you’re a new or experienced writer, these lessons are written to dive into the different elements of stories and story-telling, such as: character, plot, deep POV, setting, dialogue, GMC, and so forth. There are 150 lessons in this course, but feel free to jump around! You can search for lessons by category by using the handy-dandy “categories” widget on the right hand sidebar, or you can search for a topic in the search bar at the top of the pages.
  • THE HEART OF A WRITER (“HOW”): this is our newest series (coming January 2019!) on the many emotional, spiritual, personal, and mental elements of “being” a writer. Do you find yourself discouraged in looking at your first draft? Are you impatient to get your novel published? Has writer’s block crashed your party? Then these posts are for you!

What you can expect on The Write Nook:

The Write Nook adds a new post every week from one of our four contributors – Kimberley Woodhouse, Kayla Woodhouse, Darcie Gudger, and Becca Whitham. Every month we cover a specific topic on the writing craft. We’ve started with the basics and have been making our way to more complex topics. At the end of 2018, we wrapped up our first series – CW 101 (Creative Writing 1). In January of 2019, we started our new series, The Heart of a Writer.

We encourage you to take some time and check out the different pages and widgets on the site, so you’re familiar with all of the content available. If you ever have any questions, suggestions, or comments, please email us at: thewritenook@gmail.com.
