Ready to become the writer you’ve always dreamed of being?

What’s stopping you? Do you find yourself plagued by doubt, worried that your story is just not good enough? That no one will want to read it? That maybe, just maybe, you’re wasting your time? Or are you just feeling stuck, lost in the dark with no signs of light to guide you?

Every one of us has a story inside of us and your voice deserves to be heard. Your favourite writer was once sitting where you are right now. Imagine if they gave up, then that story that you love so much would never have been told. How sad would that be?

Here’s what people are talking about

  • Angela S

    “Cassie provides writers with a sounding board for their work as well as facilitating useful writing workshops. Her insightful and empathic approach ensures all aspiring authors are supported and encouraged to hone their skills and be proud of their writing efforts. Her own genre of writing appeals to a wide audience and demonstrates her ability to lead other writers on the path to successful publishing.”

  • Apsara

    “Cassie is patient and knowledgeable about the art of writing and her encouragement is incredibly helpful for newbie writers like me.”

  • Kyle

    “Cassie is a very patient, friendly and enthusiastic teacher for writing. She is always available to answer questions and provides evocative prompts to bring creativity to a writer’s mind. Every lesson Cassie prepares gives a writer a chance to truly consider aspects of the craft that could otherwise be overlooked, thus helping us to bring out the best in our prose while ensuring a safe space for each of us to give and receive feedback.

    On top of the benefits of a lesson, Cassie is always encouraging us in our creative endeavors whatever form they take. She is easily reached and prompt in responding with her feedback and advice. Her classes are always fun and insightful and I always leave them feeling a spring in my creative step."

  • Angela

    “Cassie's passion and expertise creates an inspiring and supportive environment for budding writers. She has an eagle eye for writing issues and a vast array of resources to assist writers in expressing themselves and improving their craft.”

  • Sara

    “Cassie is amazing! I’ve been a regular attendee at her Sunday Morning Writer’s Group for the last two years. During this time, I have developed a strong sense of myself as a writer and continue to learn the skills necessary to forge this evolution. Cassie encourages and guides with great warmth and respect. She has an eagle eye and an inbuilt gift to draw out the best in her students. I highly recommend working with Cassie. Take the plunge. You will not look back.”

  • Eddie

    "Cassie has been instrumental in my writing journey. Her approach is selfless and she is completely focussed on helping you achieve your goals and finding your writer's voice while giving you the right tools to work on your craft."

Hey, I get it

That place you’re sitting right now? I’ve been there. Not literally, of course, that’d be weird! But in the kindred, shared experience sense.

The doubt at every turn. The questions swirling in the back of the head with every single word typed. Am I good enough to be a writer? How do I get better? Does anyone care about my stories? What am I doing? How do I achieve my lifelong dream of becoming a writer?

I spent years in that space, letting doubt hold me back from sharing my voice with the world, sabotaging my own success.
And now? I’m a published writer featured in multiple anthologies, have been facilitating successful writing groups with over 100 attendees of all experiences and ages for over five years, have spoken at writing workshops across Victoria, mentored other writers on their writing journeys and have helped people, just like you and me, on their journey to becoming published writers.

Why? Because for one, I love it! And two, I was once in that exact place you are now, and I didn’t want to let other people continue to feel like I did. I wanted to use everything I’d learn to help others achieve their writing dreams.

Do you want to become a writer? Do you want to reach an audience of people that adore your writing? Do you want to become the writer that you’ve always dreamed of being?
