A separate entity to Busy Corner Books, Writing Well, is currently being developed. This is an exciting new charitable venture founded by Paula in May 2024 following her addressing the importance and value of personal/professional acknowledgment through sharing the written word and giving/receiving of constructive feedback from both a one-to-one or group connection.

"I have watched people's eyes light up, their breathing calm, the tone of their skin change and their whole posture alter at being acknowledged and given space to be themselves. This is so simple, yet so valuable." Paula Thwaite
