  • The Court Street Gallery Unit 14, Meadow Works, Court Street Trowbridge, Wiltshire BA14 8BR United Kingdom (map)

Get into the write space every month.

Gather & Ink with other writers and creatives in this community class. Take part in a mini-workshop and get some writing completed whilst being supported by your peers and writing coach, Sam Osbiston.


Gather & Ink is a fortnightly writing group created to connect, guide and inspire people who write or dream of writing either for personal pleasure, blogging or books.

Somewhere to experiment with your voice, and explore who you are, right down to your bones.

Whether you are looking to explore the possibilities of being a writer, learn more about the healing power of journaling or make an impact through your words. Come and experience other perspectives, learn, grow and get your brave on. (whilst enjoying tea & cake!)

Each session will incorporate a learning element or workshop on a specific challenge the group may all be facing with our writing, there will be the opportunity to get some writing completed and receive peer support and coaching from Sam - plus encouragement to find your voice, flow and grow.

is this for you?

Want to freely explore your creativity, safely express yourself and experiment with your words?

I love being a writer, and the solitude suits me, but each time I make the commitment to hanging out with other writers, I get far more than company. There’s an enrichment to be found within a group setting, from other people’s journeys, their knowledge & yours! There’s safety in numbers that gives you a permission slip to set your words free.

We’ll hold you accountable for achieving your goals and pursuing your writing dreams.

holding space for you.

Hello, I’m Sam Osbiston.

You’re slightly mad and magical teacher.

As a Writing and Book Coach, I’ve been taking writers on inky adventures for around 7 years, guiding and encouraging them to embrace their creative gifts and share them around a bit - because who doesn’t love a story!

I am here to hold space for you; so you feel supported in your creative exploration and can tap into my twenty five+ years of expertise whilst learning skills to enhance your desires for writing and beyond.

I am excited to meet you and join you in your adventure!
