Help Develop Community Focused Wellbeing Groups Writing Well
Donation protected
Hello there, my name is Paula Anne, and I run a writing and publishing consultancy in Louth, Lincolnshire, called Busy Corner Books. With the help of my partner, Barrie, we offer different services for those who write and/or publish their work. We also offer corporate engagement: www.busycornerbook.com.
Following a life changing accident, I experienced the isolation and vulnerabilities that a person can have when their independence is threatened. However, I chose to use this as a motivational springboard, and deliver Writing Well into our community.
Writing has always been my love, plus bringing people together.
In the past, I have facilitated groups for therapy, writing, and mediation. Plus, around 15 years ago, I began my huge learning curve in the writing and publication process - taking the written word right through to a published product and into the shops - wearing several different hats (a writer, an editor, a proof reader, a beta reader, a publisher, a marketeer - as many new authors discover, there are many roles in being a successful author and publisher.) I have also provided help and support to other writers and authors; including mentoring as they reach goals, through writing and publishing.
I am studying distance learning through University for an MA in Creative Writing. Plus, I bring 25+ years experience as a counsellor with psychotherapy skills. I have volunteered for MIND and a Women's Charity, offering my help as a therapist, and volunteered for the Lincoln Diocese whilst training in Spiritual Accompaniment. In the background, over the past 25+ years, I have supported my partner in his psychotherapy business and have experience in the administration of his business.
This portal has been constructed for people who are currently attending Writing Well, to give their £3 donation each time they attend our meetings. Or for anyone who would like to support our new venture for the community.
At the moment we are running groups in Louth, Horncastle and online. The face to face groups are every 2 weeks, the virtual meetings are every 4 weeks. We have been asked to deliver groups in Alford, Cleethorpes, South Lincolnshire, Boston, Lincoln, Scamblesby. Plus, requests for outside of Lincolnshire. It would be great to be able to bring all this to the community. However, for the moment, we have the Horncastle, Louth and Online available.
We are getting together a constitution, trustees and committee members. This all takes time. However, if you feel you may be able to support us, please get in touch. We also need a Disability, Equality and Diversity Ambassador. With experience in autism. This is a volunteer role with a view to being paid in the future.
Please support us in our mission. Afterall, we are offering something worthwhile back to the community.
Thank you in advance.
Warmest regards,
Paula Thwaite.
