If You Want to Be a Writer, Write!

Iโ€™m Claire Walsh, bestselling author, coach, and mentor. I help writers and aspiring writers find their voice, build confidence, and put their words on the page.

From childrenโ€™s stories that smash stereotypes to memoir and collaborative projects, Iโ€™ve published books across genres, proof that thereโ€™s no single โ€œright wayโ€ to be an author. Writing has been my way of navigating lifeโ€™s hardest moments and celebrating its brightest, and now I guide others to do the same. Whether youโ€™re starting your first chapter or have been writing for some time, if you are ready to share your voice with the world, Iโ€™m here to help.

Ten Writing Prompts: Your Creative Kickstart

Staring at a blank page can feel impossible โ€” thatโ€™s why I created this free set of prompts. Inside youโ€™ll find ten simple, thought-provoking starting points to help you put words on the page, spark new ideas, and remind you that the only way to be a writer is to write.
