Our story
We met on an online writing course during Covid and have continued on the brave path of putting pen to paper and developing our writing and editing voices. Supportive monthly calls, offering encouragement and constructive critique, have helped us hone our creative skills.
The next step has been to establish this corner of the internet as a space to continue our writing, to share our work, and, we hope, to inspire others to find their own creative voice.
Our Writers
Charlotte is a writer who has given up her right to be called C.S. Lewis as that would be just downright confusing for readers. What’s more, she has imposter syndrome and this situation doesn’t help with that.
Instead, she thrives off her life in London where she has worked in finance for many years, and is now steadily developing the writerly yin side to her capitalist yang. She is British and a Londoner through and through, yet can’t help but view everything with an outsider’s eye due to her indeterminate ancestry.
Working with a group of writers from the Faber Academy course, Charlotte writes short stories and essays. Her influences include Virginia Woolf, Roald Dahl, Patricia Highsmith and Zadie Smith. Her work explores themes of identity, social place and subconsciousness.

With only 24 hours in each day, Lise attempts to carve out fragments of time where possible to write (or at least think about writing...). Living in Copenhagen, zipping across the city on her bike to work (true Scandi style) has proven an excellent opportunity to run through plot lines, muse over character sketches or collect inspiration for her aspiring crime novel - after all, why is that cyclist completely muffled up in an overcoat in June and what is he transporting so furtively in his cargo bike?
Lise has had an interest in writing since childhood but only re-discovered the hobby during covid. An online writing course at Faber Academy helped to set the wheels in motion and a small close-knit writers' group of fellow kindred spirits has been a source of encouragement and inspiration to continue her writing journey ever since.

Chrissie Knight’s love of writing began at her Blackpool convent school. It was reignited by (in no particular order) a bothersome ghost, a desire to entertain her friends, Covid and writing press releases for her local running club.
Chrissie’s writing is influenced by Magical Realism which she discovered while living in South America. Her tales tend towards the light hearted and often supernatural.
She lives in London with her husband and beloved dog, Theo.

A Northern Londoner (as well as a North Londoner), Seemi is currently writing an eerie historical thriller set on a voyage across the Indian Ocean - she hopes it will become her first novel. She also writes short stories and the occasional poem, usually when she should be working on the novel.
After several years of procrastination and writing intermittently, one snowy January something changed. She joined a writing group, which led to a lot more writing, and brought her here.
