Writing Greenhouse

A safe place to develop ideas and grow.

March 2027

“The Greenhouse is about people using their own situation, whatever it is, to create opportunities and be spurred on in their evangelism.’ It’s a safe place to develop ideas and to grow, similar to how a greenhouse in a garden is used to cultivate and protect tender plants.” Elaine MacDonald

Our short-term mentoring project will empower, encourage and equip you to give writing a go.

The task of writing, perfecting and publishing can seem daunting. Through the Greenhouse we want to inspire, encourage and equip women to give it a go. So, whether you've got a Substack, write regularly on social media, want to write up your story or haven't even started, you are really welcome to join us.

How does The Greenhouse work?

Alongside mentoring and training the main focus of the Greenhouse is writing a piece in week 2 and 3 and then receiving feedback on your piece week 4.

Week 1: Top tips from Kat Wordsworth on getting going in writing with Q&A.

Week 2-3: Homework time!

End of week 3: Submit your writing.

Week 4: Meet for mentor led feedback on your piece.

Cost £15 (If costs are prohibitive please get in touch with the PfE team).

  • “I was feeling a bit nervous on the trip to London; notebook open on my lap, running though my Spoken Word piece under my breath, butterflies in my stomach. Who wouldn’t be? It’s creative, it’s personal, we were inviting (constructive) criticism, and other women would also be sharing theirs – so even though it wasn’t competitive there would be inevitable comparison; and I didn’t expect to come out of it well.

    It turned out most of us were feeling like that about participating in the workshop. So how did we all end up feeling comfortable enough to read and perform our pieces, and why did I enjoy it so much that I’d do it all again?”
