🚀 Too Much Instagram is A-GO!
Introducing my new membership, hosted here on Substack, where I'm going to be supporting writers with using Instagram to grow your readership, and promote your work, without losing your sanity!
‘Authors don’t just have to write their books - they have to sell them too. This is a truth that not every writer is thrilled about.
I love that there are now people out there, like Nicola, helping writers navigate it all!’

, author, podcaster, book coach & creator ofI’m making it my mission to demystify Instagram for writers so you can find your readers and promote your work without it taking over your life.
I’ve been working as a freelance social media manager since 2017, and since the start of 2023 I’ve been teaching writers how to show up on Instagram in a way that’s creative, fun, effective AND that respects your time and creative energy.
In the last year and half, as I’ve pivoted away from working with small businesses towards supporting writers, I’ve worked with hundreds of writers, delivering Ask Me Anything sessions and workshops for book coaches, writing communities, and author branding experts; in my own signature programme, Instagram School for Writers; and through 1-2-1 workshops and mentoring.
BUT, so far, what I’ve not been able to offer is a way to work with me that is on-going, flexible, and means that for the cost of less than one day with a junior social media manager, you can access my brain, ideas, support, and advice for an entire year.
Introducing TOO MUCH INSTAGRAM - my ✨brand new✨ membership for writers looking to learn how to use Instagram effectively to find your readers and market your work💥

A weekly online chat with me and the community to share ideas, ask question, receive advice, and encourage you to keep showing up on Instagram. It doesn’t matter how many courses or memberships you pay for if you don’t do the work so I’ll be (gently) holding you accountable as well as being your biggest Insta-cheerleader ;-)
Content inspiration banks, curated by me and tailored especially for writers
Content Create-a-Long sessions when you can create content in company, whether it’s body-doubling or accountability you’re looking for.
LIVE Ask Me Anything calls: bring your questions about Instagram and I’ll use my experiences and insights to untangle the problem and advise on what you should do next. Replays will be available because life is busy and I wouldn’t want anyone to miss out. The first of these takes place this Thursday 6th June at 12pm (BST) and is OPEN TO ALL SUBSCRIBERS to attend for FREE. Members’ questions will be given priority, so join before then to ask a question, or just come along to see what it’s all about.

- and July - .Best practice case studies curated by me so you can learn from writers who’re already doing a great job of promoting their work.
Audio recordings of written posts so you can still access support, ideas and insights, even when you’re sick of staring at your screen or need to go about your day. Podcasts and audiobooks make the most dreary of domestic chores bearable for me so I’m excited to offer this little extra.
The Tweak-ments video series is an opportunity for members to receive tailored, personal feedback on your Instagram account. If the thought of putting yourself forward makes you feel uncomfortable, you can watch and learn from the feedback I give to other writers
A community of writers all using Instagram to promote their work. There will be spaces to network and connect as well as to share ideas and experiences that will support other writers.

What my clients say about working with me

, writer, memoirist, Bath Flash long-list, Curae Prize honourable mention‘I took so much away from the workshop and am brimming with ideas for how to connect with readers and talk about my book.
