The biggest problem writers have is writing.
You think you should be able to just sit down and write. But there’s an endless, urgent to-do list, and sometimes writing is just really hard. But the more you procrastinate the worse you feel, so you write even less.
Maybe you need time and space away, a place where you can go to concentrate and create. Maybe you need support. That’s where The Write Beach Hut comes in. A micro-retreat that will also offer courses, advice, prompts and masterclasses in 2025 to help you just write.
About
Welcome
Hi, I'm Jasmine from The Write Beach Hut,
You might have seen me around the hut or on our social media. I wanted to say hello and share a bit about me and my purpose here!
This cosy, inspiring beach hut is designed specifically for writers, illustrators, readers and thinkers providing a peaceful, creative space by the sea. As a screenwriter and award-winning author of over 15 books, I've created an environment where you can focus and let your creativity flow. Right now I am working on a ghost story for Bloomsbury.
Two years ago I booked a hut by the sea. It was in February and it was a gorgeously warm day because the sun hung so low in the sky. I was up against a hard deadline and was feeling pretty burnt out [when I'm not writing I run a fiction studio called Storymix and I'm a mum of two as well] but writing by the edge of the sea was so restorative and it got me thinking that more creatives, thinkers and readers deserve a space completely tailored to their needs, with a decent chair that doesn't wreck their back and a library of books. That way everyone can get their vitamin sea with no compromises.
My mission with The Write Beach Hut is simple: to offer writers and other creatives a unique, serene retreat to enhance their writing journey at a price point that is accessible. No one should be priced out of peace.
