There you are. We have been waiting for you.

Posted on by Beth Kempton

True belonging. Year-round inspiration. Extraordinary value. This is what awaits you in SoulCircle.

This is your invitation to join one of the most beautiful writing communities on the planet. Hosted by me, bestselling author Beth Kempton, SoulCircle is an intimate gathering of writers (of all levels) from across the world. We share weekly writing inspiration (Journal Notes penned by me in your inbox every Monday), and gather regularly for magical Live Writing Circles, Q&A and more.

Why SoulCircle is special

SoulCircle is different from other writing communities for a number of reasons:

  • It’s personal. Everything in SoulCircle is carefully curated by me, for you.
  • It’s quiet and cosy, yet deeply inspiring. SoulCircle is not a vast, noisy space with lots of distracting things going on. Rather, it is a gentle, welcoming space for people who love words. It feels a bit like writing by candlelight. Once you join, it becomes part of your ritual and rhythm.
  • It’s always encouraging. There is no critique in SoulCircle (just as there is no critique in any of my classes). I believe it is more important that you learn how to evaluate and beautify your own writing, than it is to thicken your skin to handle the opinions of others. This might be counterintuitive in a world where writing communities tend to be all about critique, but believe me, it changes everything.
  • There is nothing you have to do or achieve. There are no wordcounts. There are no deadlines. There is no ‘tough love’, only love. There are invitations and offerings, but everything is optional.
  • It’s always there for you. SoulCircle offers year-round, gentle support. May it become the heartbeat of your writing life.
  • It’s extraordinary value. All SoulCircle subscriptions are used to create resources to support writers, so I am able to offer incredible value at a very accessible price. (A year’s worth of SoulCircle content would be worth over £600 if sold individually)

Every penny of your subscription goes towards developing resources to support writers all over the world.

Who we are

SoulCircle is a beautiful, diverse mix of writers of all levels and backgrounds from across the world. A recent members’ survey showed that 10% of us are published authors, 25% are currently writing books (and more than half of us have a book dream), 60% of us write on Substack, 60% write poetry, and almost all of us mostly write because of how it makes us feel.

Members say they love SoulCircle because of the way the weekly inspiration keeps them connected to their writing, the like belonging to the community and connect with other writers, they adore the Live Writing Circles and are grateful for the chance to practice bravery in sharing their work (something which is always optional)

SoulCircle is led by me, Beth Kempton, author of six non-fiction books, writing teacher and encouraging mentor.

We have been waiting for you. You belong here. I hope you will join us and make a real commitment to your writing life. CLICK HERE to join, and get a lovely generous discount on an annual subscription.

Much love,

Beth Xx
