Root to Canopy: Building a wild author presence

A free session for writers who want to grow their presence with rhythm, care and wildhearted authenticity.

Not every writer wants a platform.
But many of us want to share our words - and be heard.
We want to build a presence that’s rooted in something real.
Not performative. Not polished. Just alive.

In this free session, we’ll explore

The difference between presence and performance

How to grow an author identity that feels like your heartwood

A living metaphor for your writing life - root to canopy

A simple, symbolic map of where you are now (and where you’re growing next)

You’ll be guided through creative reflection, gentle prompts, and space to imagine your own writing ecosystem - one that feels spacious, sustainable and authentic.

🗓 Date & Time: Wednesday 21st May, 7pm
📍 Location: Zoom (link shared on sign-up)
💫 Cost: Free!

Hosted by Eleanor Cheetham - author, creative guide, and writing mentor.

This session is also a soft opening for Author Ecosystem, a 10-week course to support your growth as a writer - from your roots to your forest. You’ll hear more about it at the end, with no pressure to join.

Come with a notebook, a cup of something warm, and your curiosity.
