Writing is the best life

Thrive

A warm, encouraging writing community for writers who are ready to make real progress on the writing life they dream about.

You know you’re meant to write.

Maybe there’s a book living inside you. Maybe you have pages tucked away in drawers, notes in your phone, or a story you keep promising yourself you’ll return to when life gets quieter.

But life is busy. Confidence wobbles. Weeks pass. And writing, the thing that matters so much to you, keeps slipping to the bottom of the list.

Thrive is here to change that.

This is a community for writers who want to write consistently, feel supported, receive encouraging feedback, and finally give their creative dream the space it deserves.

Support, Belief & Care

A Personal Story

You do not have to become confident before you begin

When I was ten, I had a teacher called Jenny.

She believed in my writing. She encouraged my poems and stories, and one day she told me I was going to be a writer, a real professional one. She was the only adult in my childhood who gave me that vision.

As soon as I learned how to write, I filled diaries with stories about animals and fantasy worlds. But around that age, an inner critic moved in too, and I started getting stuck.

Jenny’s voice stayed with me anyway.

I’m 46 now and I’ve written more than 60 books. I can still feel her warmth when I think of her. That is what one person believing in you can do.

Inside Thrive, your writing will be met with care, belief and encouragement. You will be supported to make progress, develop your voice and keep going, even when doubt gets loud.
The Vision

Imagine what could happen if writing became part of your week

Imagine opening your laptop and knowing there are other writers waiting to write alongside you.

Imagine having protected writing time in your diary, several times a week.

Imagine sharing your work without fear, getting clear and kind feedback, and knowing what to do next.

Imagine being surrounded by people who understand why writing matters to you, and who believe in your book before you fully believe in it yourself.

That is the heart of Thrive.

Inside the Membership

What you’ll find inside Thrive

01

Deep Writing Sessions

Come and write alongside a supportive community of writers during focused online writing sessions.

The sessions take place on Zoom. We keep our cameras on to create gentle accountability and connection, while microphones stay muted so everyone can focus deeply on their own words.

You simply show up, settle in and give that hour to your writing.

There are sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, plus evening sessions on Tuesday and Thursday, all held in CEST.

Small writing hours become books

One focused writing hour can give you 1,000 words.

You do not need to write all day, every day, to make real progress. Even if you join only two Deep Writing Sessions each week, those words begin to add up. A few thousand words a week become chapters. Chapters become a manuscript. And slowly, the book you have been carrying inside you starts to exist on the page.

That is the beautiful compounding effect of showing up.

Thrive gives you regular appointments with your writing, so it no longer has to depend on finding the perfect moment, feeling inspired or having a completely empty diary.

Feedback Sessions

Feedback is where you get unstuck and start moving forward.

Join our feedback sessions to listen, learn and receive guidance on writing, books, publishing and your path as a writer.

With a +Feedback membership, you can submit either:

  • •One text of up to 800 words each month, or
  • •One more detailed question about your writing or book

Your question could be about the structure of your book, how to continue a story, what happens next for your character, how to approach a publisher with your particular story, or anything else that is keeping you stuck.

You do not need to attend live to submit your text or question. I will answer it during the session, and you can watch the replay if you cannot be there.

Please note, members in the basic Thrive and Thrive & Play options can join the feedback sessions to listen and learn, but cannot submit a text or question themselves.
03

The Thriving Artist Party

Once a month, we gather for a group coaching experience designed to support your whole creative life.

Bring your desires, blocks, fears and big dreams. We’ll explore topics like making space for writing, moving through perfectionism, trusting yourself and allowing yourself to want more.

Because your writing life is not a tiny hobby to squeeze in around everything else. It gets to matter.

The Thriving Artist Party is recorded, and the replay is available for one week.

Specialist Support

Thrive & Play, for children’s book writers

If you write for children, Thrive & Play gives you extra specialist support.

You’ll receive a monthly masterclass, Mastering the Art of Writing for Children’s books, plus a dedicated weekly feedback session for children’s book writers.

The first masterclass is:

Open Your Story Treasure Chest

Where do stories come from? Yours are already inside you, in childhood memories, in the images that keep returning, and in the things children around you say and do. We open the chest together and you start writing towards the story with the most energy.

Future masterclasses may explore topics such as:

  • •Finding the heart of your book, choosing your story, finding your why and meeting your reader
  • •Becoming your character, stepping inside their world, fears, desires and logic
  • •Giving your character one problem, creating conflict, structure and momentum
  • •Making your story come alive through scenes, dialogue, voice, rhythm, humour and emotional truth
  • •Keeping writing when it does not flow, working with perfectionism, the inner critic and getting unstuck
  • •Shaping, revising and finishing your manuscript

Each masterclass is recorded and added to an ever growing masterclass library. As the library grows, you will have access to all previous masterclasses as part of your Thrive & Play membership.

Agatha Cornelia

Author of 60+ Books & Creative Coach

Meet Your Host

Hello lovely, I’m Agatha.

I’m Agatha Cornelia, a writer, children’s book author and creative coach.

I’m 46 years old and have written more than 60 books. I know the joy of having a story come alive on the page, but I also know the doubt, the inner critic and the challenge of protecting time for the work that matters most.

When I was ten, a teacher called Jenny told me I would become a real writer. Her belief in me stayed with me, especially during the moments when I found it hard to believe in myself.

60+ published books

And years of guiding writers through doubt, writer's block, and finishing their manuscripts.

That is the kind of support I want Thrive to offer you.

You do not need someone to make you feel small or tell you to wait until you are ready. You need encouragement, thoughtful guidance, focused writing time and a place where your creative dreams are taken seriously.

I would be so happy to support you as you write your way towards the book that is waiting for you.

A Message From The Heart

Your writing matters

Waiting for the right moment costs you another year of your book.

You do not need to do this alone. You do not need perfect pages, a perfect plan or endless confidence.

You just need to begin, keep showing up, and let yourself be supported along the way.

My teacher Jenny believed in me before I could believe in myself.

I would love for Thrive to be that place for you, alongside a community of writers who are choosing to take their creative dreams seriously too.
