THE HARDEST PART ABOUT WRITING ISN'T WRITING...

It’s the part where your brain whispers:
'I should be further along.'
'Everyone else is doing better than me.'
‘If I stop now, at least I won’t fail later.’

The Inner Game of Writing is for you if…


✅ You know you've got talent and that you can do it, but sometimes you wobble

✅ You want to make stuff you're proud of, regardless of how it's received

✅ You want to feel like you belong in the creative world

✅ You’re not looking for hacks, just something that helps you stay in it

✅ You like writing, that's why you started in the first place (!) but sometimes it appears you've forgotten this

Imagine this...

✨ You're actually excited to sit down and write

✨ You know what to do next (not everything, but enough to begin)

✨ You back yourself quietly and consistently

✨ Other people's achievements don't feel like a dagger in your heart

✨ You like what you're making

✨ You don’t have to keep convincing yourself, you just believe

What people have said about The Inner Game of Writing


'I'm a published novelist seven times over- some of those books have even been published in the US and the UK too. You'd think I'd be a swaggering ball of confidence, wouldn't you?... I loved what I've got from The Inner Game of Writing... Better yet, I love that I can go back to it any time or whenever that mean voice starts up again. It's been a great investment in my writing sanity and I couldn't recommend it more highly.' - Kylie Ladd


'Completed the course this afternoon and it feels like I've had a complete motivation reset! Had a pretty awful rejection on book 2 late last year and I'm about to gather all my courage to go in for book three. Focusing on the journey! Thanks Katherine, your words really have given my heart. You're doing the Goddess' work!' - Published author


'I am absolutely loving it - exactly what I need at this point of my process! I’m scribbling so many notes and have no doubt I will revisit it regularly. Well done, it's brilliant x - (a different) Published author


'Firing up my morning routine with an episode of The Inner Game of Writing and 'The Stories Writers Tell Themselves' but the insightful -- and frequently hilarious -- Katherine Collette. Highly recommend. Five stars.' - Anne Farrell

Who's running this show

I write books, draw cartoons and used to co-host The First Time podcast.

I’m also a writing coach.

Across all stages of my writing life, from hopeless to emerging to debut and beyond, I’ve wanted someone on my corner. Someone that had done the things I wanted to do, to be invested in me and my career, to provide advice and feedback on my specific situation.

Now, having published multiple books here and overseas, interviewed 100+ debut/best selling/award winning writers on writing, publication and the head game of a writer, I’m that person for other people.

I help writers wanting to be published and writers who are about to be published know what to do to give themselves and their work the best possible chance of success.
