Words Away

Words Away, established in 2016 by Kellie Jackson, brings creative writers together for discussion, workshops and community. Kellie’s events feature either a guest author, editor or literary agent for a focused exploration on a particular topic and also offer a chance to exchange ideas and ask questions in a friendly setting.

Exploring the writing process in a fun and creative way is at the heart of Words Away. Over the years we’ve been privileged to host an array of events both online and in-person with brilliant guests while building a following of keen aspiring and published writers along the way. So whether you’re seeking to generate new ideas, need a creative nudge to reconnect with your work, or curious about the inner workings of the publishing industry, I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for at Words Away. Check out my blog for a flavour of previous events and you can sign up for my mailing list and monthly newsletter here.

Be inspired. Develop and nurture your craft. Meet other writers. Please join us, all welcome.


Salons & Zalons

Every month I invite a guest author to join you, the audience, in discussing a particular topic in writing, a genre, or a question of craft. In person or online, we’ll explore the challenges and opportunities, the difficulties and joys of writing, and the reality of being a writer. I’ll get the discussion going with a few questions between the guest and myself and then invite you the audience to join in. It would be lovely to see you! The talks are held once a month on selected Monday evenings, for more details click here.
