Brave Women Write

Because your story matters.

Home » Brave Women Write

I acknowledge the Bunurong and the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation who are the traditional custodians of the land we live on in Red Hill and Clifton Hill. We recognise these lands were never ceded and they always were, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Write with courage for impact and change.

I’m Carolyn Tate, the author of six books including Brave Women Write which I wrote in just 90 days.

Maybe you have a story inside waiting to be told but don’t know where to start? Or perhaps you’ve begun writing and found yourself stuck?

The Brave Women Writers’ community is here to help. Through my online Writers’ Circle and one-day retreats in Red Hill, I offer a safe and brave space for you to find your voice, free the writer within and write your story.

What connects the women who join, is our common purpose to write stories of impact and justice for women, nature and the environment — stories that move us to remake the world.

Because your story matters.

Brave Women Write

On facing grief, finding hope and freeing the writer within.

Grief. It’s universal. We all experience it, whether it’s over the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship or the devastating destruction of Mother Earth. We can’t avoid grief and nor would we want to. It’s what makes us better, braver, kinder human beings.

Writing is the most powerful way to face grief and find hope. By freeing the writer within, we free ourselves from the grip grief holds on us. When life becomes dark, writing is the way through.

Brave Women Write is a manifesto for women who yearn to write for both personal and planetary healing and change. I share the stories of my fifteen years as an author and the thirty-three practices I use to get my words onto the page and out into the world.

If you’re committed to healing your hurt, finding your voice and sharing your story, this book will show you how to get started and make writing a practice for life.

This book will energise and inspire you to release your voice and share your stories with vulnerability, heart and hope. As a fledgling writer, I feel encouraged and supported to keep writing. I’m now more committed to picking up my pen again. Thank you!
