Outlet
This course is not about being a “good” writer — it’s about being honest. It’s a space to release, reflect, and reconnect. You’ll explore your internal world through prompts and practices that support emotional expression, mindfulness, and healing.
The Writing Practice
-
Outlet is a self-paced digital writing course that helps you build a reflective, personal writing practice. It includes structured guidance, writing exercises, and a downloadable PDF workbook. You don’t need to share your writing with anyone unless you want to. This is about process, not performance.
-
Not at all. You don’t need experience, confidence, or a clear sense of what you want to say — just a willingness to show up and write. This course is designed for people at all levels, including total beginners.How is the course delivered?
The course is entirely online. Once you sign up, you’ll get lifetime access to the course content, which includes text-based lessons, writing prompts, and a downloadable PDF guidebook you can keep.

That depends on what you mean by “improve.” Outlet isn’t about grammar, structure, or publishing. It’s about helping you write more honestly, more consistently, and with less self-censorship. You might not come away with polished work — but you will come away with a stronger, more flexible relationship to the page. That tends to change the writing itself, too.
-
There’s no deadline and no set pace. Some people move through it in a few weeks; others return to it slowly over time. You can dip in and out as needed.

I'm Charlotte, a freelance writer based in Aotearoa with a Master of Writing (Distinction) and a background in science, storytelling, and recovery. Over the years, writing has been my way of processing what doesn’t make sense yet.
I developed Outlet because I wanted a writing space that wasn’t about performance or productivity. Just an honest, grounded practice. The kind that helps you feel a little less stuck, a little more steady. This course draws on research-backed writing techniques and lived experience, shaped into something accessible, flexible, and real.
If you need somewhere to start, or to start again, this is for you.
Who is Outlet for?
Outlet is about developing a writing practice that helps you process, express, and make sense of your world. It’s not a course about writing a novel or getting published — there are plenty of brilliant authors in Aotearoa offering guidance in that space.
This course is for anyone, regardless of your experience. You don’t need to be “a writer” to get something out of it. Outlet is for:
✦ People completely new to writing who want to get comfortable expressing their true voice
✦ Experienced writers who feel stuck or blocked
✦ People in recovery or transition — from illness, burnout, grief, addiction, or just life
✦ People who write to understand what they think or feel
✦ People who want structure and motivation in their writing practice
