Write With Me
Welcome to The Mindful Writer, where creativity meets mindfulness. My teachings can help you develop your writing skills while fostering a deeper connection to yourself and others, to your writing practice, and to the world around you. Whether you're looking to craft compelling fiction, explore your personal stories, or enhance your overall wellbeing through writing, I have a course or workshop designed for you.
I teach online writing courses and Zoom workshops, provide 1-1 coaching and run monthly Mindful Writing Marathons. I would love to work with you to help you connect more deeply and mindfully to your writing.
My teaching brings in mindfulness, Taoism, Buddhism and other ancient wisdoms alongside therapeutic journaling and positive psychology, as well as everything I have learned about storytelling in the past 20 years of writing my own novels, short stories and essays, publishing other people’s, and working with hundreds of writers to help them develop their work. Find out more about me here.
Launched in 2025: a new series of interactive Zoom sessions.

“The Mindful Writer is a beautiful sanctuary to reflect on how writing can become a practice of deep connection and transformation. Amanda teaches and showcases how writers can craft stories with empathy, intention, and purpose. Readers learn to slow down, reflect on their creative voice, and use their writing to inspire and touch hearts.”
— Michele Parad
“I wholeheartedly urge anyone who is interested in understanding, improving and refining their writing to work with Amanda. Not only does she give valuable advice about the nuts-and-bolts of storytelling, she digs so much deeper into what your story is about, exposing what is missing but also revealing hidden layers to be explored, helping you craft stories with depth which are meaningful and memorable.”
