PRE-ORDER: Diary & Planner 2027
Make space for your writing. Keep coming back to it. Send it out into the world.
For women writers, sustaining a practice doesn’t solely depend on sparks of inspiration. We also need to find tiny pockets, or large swathes of time to get the words on the page.
The Mslexia Diary & Planner is built with the realities of women’s lives in mind. It provides tools to understand when you have time to write, and it's there to return to when life gets in the way.
And because this is Mslexia, we know you’ll want to get your work into the world, so we’ve created features to help you do so.
‘Just received my third Diary; it has become essential to my writing. There is no doubt that my writing life is better organised and more inspired’ Teresa
How it works
1. Make space for your writing
The Creative Plan starts by looking at your actual life: work, caring responsibilities, commitments, downtime and helps you work out where your writing can fit.
Instead of imposing an unrealistic timetable on yourself, you’ll build a creative routine around the life you actually have.
2. Keep coming back to it
The Monthly Reset gives you a chance to stop, look back and start again. What worked? What didn’t? What could you do differently?
There’s no failure or falling behind – just another opportunity to work out what you need and return to the page.
The weekly Habit Tracker helps you put the changes you want to make into practice, one small step at a time.
3. Send it out into the world
Every month includes Competitions & Call Outs, Pitch Opportunities and Literary Events, so there’s always something new to work towards.
And the Submission Tracker gives you a physical record of the work you’ve sent out – so you can look back on every time you took a chance on your writing.
