HELLO + WELCOME!
Welcome to The Writing Oasis, a calm, inspiring space to escape to this summer. I hope that it is going to get you (back) in the writing habit, offer a daily opportunity for self-care (yes writing can do that), and quench your creative thirst this season.
Class will run for two weeks. Daily lessons will go live at 9am UK time each day. I encourage you to begin with Lesson 1.0 Intention and then work through the lessons in order. Try to block out 30 minutes a day during the two weeks of class, so you can make the most of all it has to offer.
We have a private Facebook group for class. Please CLICK HERE to join it. (Please note this will open on Friday July 30, so if you request to join before then your request will remain pending until we open the group).
Our Facebook Live will take place on Wednesday 11 August at 11am ET / 4pm UK time, broadcast straight into the Facebook group. A replay will be made available in the classroom afterwards in case you can’t make it live, or if you don’t want to join the Facebook group.
In the meantime, if you want to get writing now, for a limited time you can get 70% off my Words Heal class with the coupon code OASIS. This is an instant access writing class designed to equip you with tools to help process some of the complex feelings that bubble up in a crisis, stabilise your ship and find reasons to be hopeful.

Quench your creative thirst this summer with my brand new FREE two-week writing course. After more than a year of turmoil and stress, The Writing Oasis offers a light and airy space to get inspired and write. Step away from it all for just a few minutes a day to seek refuge, refreshment and community in this summer writing sanctuary, designed to calm the mind and nourish the soul. Join me, Beth Kempton, for daily writing prompts, inspiration and tips for a flourishing writing life.
Sign up now for FREE, and get ready to bliss out with words from August 2–14, 2021.
This short LIVE online class will be as refreshing as a long cool drink on a hot summer’s day, offering a tonic for an overstretched, busy life and an outlet for all you have been carrying this past year. Each lesson is short enough to be a joy, but long enough to help you really dive into writing and cultivate a writing habit during our two weeks together. Whether you want to write for business or pleasure, whether you have a book dream or simply want to get journaling again, this course will be an inspiration. You can take it on holiday with you and do your writing at the beach, or allow it to bring some sunshine into your regular working life – whatever works for you!
How much is it?
FREE! Yes, that’s right. Zero pounds. $0. And no, there is no catch. Writing has changed my life and brought me so many wonderful opportunities. My writing classes are a true pleasure to run and I love seeing people get inspired to write. Making this free means it is as accessible as possible. YOU are invited and I hope you will join me! (So are your friends – be sure to tell them about it!)
Hmm… sounds too good to be true
Really, it’s true. Here are some words from previous participants of my short writing courses Words Heal and the Winter Writing Sanctuary:
What’s included
- A series of daily video-based lessons approaching writing in a variety of ways, with inspiring prompts and exercises to nurture your writing practice. I include a host of insights into my personal experience writing five books, numerous published articles and thousands of social media posts.
- Daily audios to prompt your creativity to spill out onto the page
- A private community space where you can connect with other writers, and share your work if you wish (please note there is no critique in this course, just lots of love and support!)
- PLUS one LIVE session when you can ask me about getting published, staying motivated, the writing life… anything!
Who’s it for?
Anyone who loves to write and wants a gentle, creative experience to escape to this summer*. Whether you are a novice, an aspiring author, someone wanting to connect with others through your social media platforms, or a career writer, you will find much in here to support you.
*Note: I am based in the Northern Hemisphere where we are entering summer, but of course you are welcome to join from anywhere.
