Life's Little Narratives - Stories hiding in plain sight

The stories that matter aren't always the dramatic ones. They're in the moments we nearly missed, the lives we might have lived, the things we never said and the memories that keep nudging us. Life's Little Narratives is a place to notice them, write them and see where they lead.

Ways to explore Life's Little Narratives

Workshops

Playful, thoughtful writing experiences that start with an unexpected question, image, object or idea - and take you somewhere you didn't expect to go.

Retreats

Time away from the noise to write, think and reconnect with your creative self - with enough structure to get you moving and enough space to follow your own curiosity.

Book Coaching

One-to-one support for the book that keeps calling you back - from finding the shape of the idea to staying with it long enough to finish.

Membership

Tell It Anyway: a weekly writing membership for people who want to write more freely, regularly and courageously. Stories that matter. Tell them any way.

“So much inspiration, connection and thinking outside the box. Nicky is a wonderful teacher and brings out creativity from its core.”
Writer at The Thursday Memoir Club
“Those three hours on Saturday morning were so incredibly inspiring and helpful to my book project I can't thank you enough. Your approach, the pacing of exercises... you gave us enough time to go deeper, that was fascinating and helpful.”
Writer at Braided Stories workshop

My Writing

My own writing moves between memoir, everyday observation, identity, possibility and the strange little stories hiding inside ordinary life. Read published pieces, works in progress and experiments here.
