‘Prompt’ me: Rare Birds Book Club launches newsletter for budding writers
Bi-weekly newsletter hosted by famous female authors
Home of female fiction and letterbox lockdown companion, Rare Birds Book Club, is set to launch a brand-new newsletter, aimed at budding writers. From 22nd March, Prompt will be dropping into inboxes every other week packed with tips, tricks and invaluable info for those who like writing – from the daily scribblers to the ‘going to write a book someday’ dreamers.
Containing a writing exercise, pointer or prompt to encourage writers (and aspiring writers) to put pen to paper and get composing. Each newsletter is hosted by a published author who has been there before and wants to share some writing wisdom to help spark inspiration.
The First Rare Birds Book Club Newsletter
The first newsletter, hosted by Maggie O’Farrell, author of best-selling novel, Hamnet, will be followed up by further writing royalty. Look out for editions from the likes of Jessie Burton (The Miniaturist), Elizabeth MacNeal (The Doll Factory), Laura Jane Williams (Our Stop) and Elizabeth Day (How to Fail).
Authors will provide the tips they themselves use. From ideas on how to start a project and exploring new or current scenarios, to getting out of a writing rut. There will be exercises to try when you have the writing itch, but no idea how to scratch it. You’ll also find prompts to help you get to know your characters or story.
Rare Birds founder, Rachel Wood, shares why Prompt is the perfect bookmark for writers old and new; “This newsletter is all about ideas – how to get them and how to build on them and the aim is simply to prompt our readers to get writing. We want to spark creativity, push boundaries, and chart new territory. They say we all have a book in us, well we want to be the ones who coax it out of you. Who knows, one day we could be sending your book out to our book club!”
Free to subscribe and featuring past and present Rare Birds Book Club authors, as well as Wood’s personal favourites. The newsletter will also shine a spotlight on the author themself, as well as their current work and future projects.

About Rare Birds Book Club:
Rare Birds Book Club is a book club founded on a simple principle: books should be fun to read. Centred upon contemporary women’s fiction, Rare Birds Book Club selects only the very best pacey, interesting stories with gripping plotlines, amazing heroines, happyish endings, and – when the occasion calls for it – totally smouldering love interests.
Members can choose to be part of the club for three, six or twelve months, as well as on a rolling basis if needed. They will receive a surprise read at the start of each month along with a personal intro from founder Rachel as to why she thinks it’s worth their time. After completing the book, members can log onto the digital book club, chatting about the story with likeminded others, as well as accessing members-only bonus content.
For the vivacious readers, RBBC also now gives the choice between two totally different books each and every month…or to upgrade to both if you can’t decide! Championing the best in fiction, Rare Birds will continue to support all genres, looking to the bestseller list and beyond for its monthly picks.
