Week 1
Stop overlooking the details that make writing vivid.
Creative observation and expression
Train yourself to notice what others miss — then turn those observations into writing that feels specific, vivid and intentional.
Your 4-week writing journey
Four weeks to become a more deliberate, confident writer.
You do not need months of theory to start seeing a difference in your writing.
HIRI is designed as an intensive four-week progression — each week building a different part of your writing, so you can see and feel the difference as your work develops.
16 guided lessons. Personalised feedback. A Coach and Mentor that follow your progress.
Week 2
Find the voice that makes the writing yours.
Character, imagination and voice
Develop stronger characters, expand your imagination and begin writing with greater individuality and confidence.
Week 3
Learn how to hold a reader’s attention.
Structure, conflict and pacing
Discover how tension, scene structure and pacing work together to give writing momentum and keep a reader engaged.
Week 4
Turn good drafts into writing you are proud to show.
Revision, feedback and final shaping
Learn how to recognise what is working, strengthen what is not, and deliberately shape a more polished final piece.
What should feel different by Week 4
- You notice stronger ideas before you begin writing.
- Your descriptions become more deliberate and specific.
- Characters and scenes carry more emotional depth.
- You understand why a piece of writing works — not just whether it “sounds good.”
- Revision becomes a skill rather than a correction exercise.
You are not working through it alone
Every lesson feeds into a learning journey built around your development.
Your Coach responds to the writing in front of you.
Your Mentor looks across your progress.
And Shaanzae’s teaching provides the method behind both.
The result is guidance that becomes more relevant as your writing develops.
16 lessons. 4 weeks. A clear progression from instinctive writing to writing with greater purpose, control and confidence.
