Welcome home to your writing practice.
You love writing. It’s how you make sense of yourself and the world. Maybe it’s a just-for-you practice, or maybe you have big aspirations for your creative life. But between work, family, and everything else, your writing keeps falling to the bottom of the to-do list—or even off the to-do list.
The Inkwell helps you find your way back, with structure, encouragement, and community designed to weave seamlessly into real life.
It’s not about writing more.
It’s about writing still.
Or writing again.
Are you an Inkwell author?
The Inkwell is for writers at any stage in their journeys who:
Find writing fulfilling but struggle to find time or momentum
Want accountability that’s kind, not pushy
Thrive with structure but resist rigid rules
Crave connection with people who get it
Are ready to rebuild trust with their creativity
If that’s you, you’ll fit right in.
Hi, I'm Sarah
Hi, I’m Sarah Welch, author, editor, and founder of The Inkwell.
I’ve spent over a decade helping authors write their stories and grow their creative confidence.
As a mom, author, and business owner, I know how easy it is for notebooks to gather dust.
The Inkwell is the space I wish I’d had when I was trying to keep my words alive through the chaos.
The Inkwell
...is creative home for writers who want to finally build a sustainable, fulfilling writing practice that fits into their real, full, chaotic, joyful lives. Below you’ll find two tiers designed to support you at different levels of depth. Each will help you stay connected to your writing, grow your craft, and feel less alone in the process.
Essential Plan
Everything you need to stay grounded in a consistent, joyful writing life.
$47.00
monthly
Weekly Co-Writing Sessions (60 minutes, virtual)
Quiet, structured writing time you can pop in and out of as needed so that you finally get writing on your calendar every single week — and never have to do it alone.
Weekly Writing Prompts aligned to a monthly craft or mindset theme
A blend of generative, WIP-friendly prompts to ensure you always know exactly how to start, whether you’re deep in a draft or staring at a blank page.
Monthly Craft Resource Roundup
Curated articles, videos, and podcasts from The Inkwell and other reputable sources to help you deepen your skills without wasting hours sifting through the internet for trustworthy advice.
Monthly Group Coaching Session (90 minutes)
One hour of co-writing + thirty minutes of attendee-centered coaching and conversation, giving you real-time support on whatever’s coming up in your writing life.
Full Access to The Inkwell Resource Library
$300 worth of original craft resources (so far!) in an ever-growing collection of tools that mean you always have practical, trustworthy guidance right at your fingertips.
Deep Dive Plan
For writers who want closer, more personalized support and ongoing accountability.
$109.00
monthly
Everything in the Essential plan, plus…
Group Voxer Coaching & Accountability (ongoing)
Access to a private group Voxer chat where you can message anytime about questions, struggles, or wins so that you never have to stay stuck, isolated, or unmotivated between sessions.
Because it’s a group chat, members can support one another too! This means your writing life is held by a real community, not just a coach.
Monthly 1:1 Coaching Call (30 minutes)
Personalized time with Sarah to focus on your current project, goal-setting, craft questions, or mindset needs so that you always know exactly what to focus on next and how to keep your momentum going.
Priority Access to Workshops, Retreats, & Intensives
First dibs on limited-spot offerings (and some real big discounts, too) so that you never miss out on the most immersive, transformative Inkwell experiences.
Deep Dive spots are limited to keep support personal.

There’s no “behind.” The Inkwell is designed to ebb and flow with your life. And believe me, we all know how that goes.
Each tier adds a different level of live support and community engagement. Essential keeps you connected and gives you regular inspiration, guided structure, and gentle accountability. Deep Dive gives even more personal support through group and individual coaching.
Start where you are. Most new members join at the Essential tier to get a feel for the rhythm of the community. You can upgrade anytime if you’d like more structure, access to the Voxer community, or personal support. There’s no wrong place to begin.
Absolutely! You can upgrade or downgrade anytime from your member account. Changes take effect immediately and your billing will be prorated accordingly. No penalties, no hassle.
I hope you’ll stick around for a while, but all memberships are month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime with one click. Annual options are available for members who prefer to save on their subscription.
Not in the Essential tier. But because Sarah provides individual coaching and continuous group support to Deep Dive members, spots are capped in that tier. If it’s full, you can join the waitlist and get first access when space opens.
