Raw Writing Challenge for January
2026-01-01 08:00 - 2026-01-31 08:00 (Europe/London) | Online / Email
Are you looking for writing inspiration to kick off 2026?
Do you want to become a better writer?
Do you want to establish a regular writing practice?
Do you want to join a writing community and enjoy a weekly Zoom get-together where you can discuss your writing week?
If the answer to any of the above questions is ‘YES!’ then please sign up for the Raw Writing January 31 Day Challenge.
This is how it works:
You’ll receive your first Raw Writing prompt on Thursday 1st January.
You’ll be encouraged to set a timer for five minutes and then just write!
There’s no pressure to go beyond five minutes, although if you want to write for longer, go for it.
You’ll continue to receive a Raw Writing prompt every morning in January.
Raw Writing will host optional live Zoom sessions each week (Sunday 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th, 17.00-18.00) so you can come along and discuss your writing week with everyone else who signed up.
When you write regularly, you get better at it. But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. The more we encourage ourselves to view the world differently, think in new ways and create a discipline, five minutes at a time, the more inspired we’ll feel.
Some of the best writing I’ve produced has been in response to writing prompts that initially made me feel deflated, annoyed, or uncomfortable!
This Raw Writing January Challenge gives you the opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and experiment with your writing.
You will build a great portfolio of writing that you can then come back to and develop further.
It is just £30. This is a one-off payment for 31 days of writing prompts and the chance to attend four live Zoom sessions.
If you’d like to take part but find cost is a barrier, there are some funded places available.
I would love you to be part of this Raw Writing challenge and take your writing to the next level!
