“There is so much here for smart, creative women from this smart, creative woman, plus I have only just discovered Lindsay reading extracts from her powerful memoir – I am already hooked (and now a complete fan of her work).” Anna Wharton
FYI: There is just ONE SPOT remaining on January’s Memoir in a Month five-week course.

"Lindsay's warm encouragement enabled me to discover and own my reasons for writing from life, to show up without apology, and to maybe, just maybe, begin to call myself a writer." Ali Pember, October 2024
And if you’re still looking for a festive listen my memoir, Held in Mind, might be just what you’re after. Click on the image below to take yourself back to Decembers past with the free prologue:
This week, a rich, wide-ranging and intimate conversation with
superstar who writes Creatively Conscious as well as the global top 10 Education publication, Sparkle on Substack.Claire brings such incredible energy and insight to her work with writers whether they’re just starting out or are ready to explore new ways to further build their communities. She’s one of us: a voice from within the creator community who came to this platform to write and build meaningful connections, who quickly realised that her decades of experience working in the cultural sector in the north-east of England could be of service in an online space. She supports, nurtures and connects so many of us, and really is the best hype-woman you could wish to have on your squad.
