Cultivating Connection is a one-to-one consultation for writers and artists—even those who are internet-wary. This experience will give you the tools to build a sustainable online practice that complements your creative life.

So you’re a writer, or an artist, and you need an online platform—but why? And what? And how?

In Cultivating Connection, I’ll help you answer these questions and get you started in designing an online platform that comfortably fits your needs and even offers inspiration, connecting your online life to your creative work in meaningful ways.

Of course, the goal of your web platform is to connect with readers and professional opportunities. But that’s only going to work if you’re really invested in your project, if it’s meaningful to you.

Who am I?

I’m Kerry Clare, and I provide online courses and consultation to bloggers (aspiring and otherwise), artists, writers, and entrepreneurs who are seeking direction in creating fun and fulfilling blogs that don’t just fit their lives, but even make life richer.

Because blogging is all about blazing a trail and breaking the rules, my job is to help you resist the tiny/tidy boxes and find your own way toward a sustainable blog that not only showcases your business or creative work, but where you can find the confidence to use your voice and explore new ideas while challenging the toxic tone of online discourse with nuance, thoughtfulness and curiosity (i.e. your own small corner of the internet is going to make the world a better place).

Twenty Years of Blogging Experience

I have more than twenty years experience as a blogger, and have blogging about books and reading since 2007 at my popular online literary blog, Pickle Me This. I had an online platform before I was even an author, which means I went through the whole process backwards, an experience which has informed my perspective of online life in positive ways.

From 2011-2015, I taught a blogging course at the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies, and I also teach blogging workshops at literary festivals and training sessions throughout Ontario. And now with this new online program, I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned from nearly twenty years of blogging and from my experience as a blogging instructor to help you create the blog you’ve been dreaming of by empowering you to find and follow your own voice, to pursue your own curious avenues.

This way you don’t get caught up in those small and limited cookie-cutter templates of what a blog should be, or the way a person ought to exist on the internet, and can build an online space instead that is your own unique creation, as original and wonder-full as you are.

What students are saying about my blogging courses:

I want to take a moment to somehow stitch into words my gratitude for this experience. It’s beyond the encouragement of why to blog, but it’s so much more than that. It’s confidence, it’s permission, it’s encouragement, its community, it’s love. —N.

Blog School was enriching in all sorts of ways. I no longer think of my blog as something I “really should do once I get it figured out” but as something that can grow and learn alongside me, in all kinds of wonderful and weird ways. Honestly, sitting down to write my posts has become the most enjoyable part of my week, and I put it all down to the courageous, kind, and just pure FUN approach to blogging that I learned from Kerry.
P.S. Oh, and if you want to stick it to the capitalist patriarchy, this is a great place to start! —Lindsay Hobbs

“Check out the Blog School offerings. Kerry Clare is a multi talent wonder. Without the weekly deadlines and the incredibly helpful feedback and guidance, I would have continued to only think about fleshing out my web site with a blog. It seemed unwieldy. Now it seems simple. Miraculously, I’ve overcome my fear of technology and figuring out Divi Builder and WordPress.” —Christy Ann Conlin
