A fully funded summer writing container for emerging women of colour writers in the UK.

The Pour Over is a fully funded eight-week online programme for women of colour who feel called towards writing, creativity and a more expansive life — on the page and far beyond it. 

It is designed to help you reconnect with your voice, build momentum, move through blocks and create from a place that feels more like you. Whether you’re writing fiction, memoir, essays, scripts, poetry or coming back to the page after a long hiatus you are welcome here.

creative life

/ˈkriːeɪtɪv laɪf/

A way of living where creativity isn’t separate from your life, but woven into how you think, choose, and show up in your everyday — on the page and far beyond it.

The Creative Process

Inside The Pour Over, we won’t only focus on the writing itself. Perhaps more importantly, we’ll also explore the writer behind the work – because often what’s blocking you is happening long before the page. 

So, over eight weeks, we’ll move through Ella’s signature creative process:
