Hey there, creative soul!
Iâm Nadiaâa writer, coach, business owner, and PhD researcher with a boundless love for storytelling. My creative journey has taken me from the page to the stage, from screenplays to scrolls, and into the evolving digital realms where art and innovation intersect. Along the way, Iâve been honoured to work with the BBC, BFI, and a host of universities, theatres, and organisations across the UKâeach collaboration fuelling my passion for stories that connect, challenge, and inspire.
Whether youâre here to sharpen your craft, explore new ideas, or simply bask in a like-minded creative communityâyouâre most welcome.
đ± The Origin Story
Growing up in Newham, East London, there werenât many creative spaces that felt made for someone like me. I crossed the river for writing programmes, skipped meals to stretch my budget for software, and juggled âday jobsâ that felt worlds away from my true creative calling.
When people asked what I did, Iâd hesitate. My writing wasnât paying the bills, and I couldnât see myself reflected in the creative industryâor education, or business. There were few mentors who looked like me, spoke like me, or could show me how to turn passion into practice without burning out.
So, I built the thing I needed: Scribble Ink - a story consultancy dedicated to coaching artists throughout their creative process using programmes and content in creative writing and creative enterprise.
Scribble Ink has served me well over the yearsâpart companion, part asset, part shield, and often the key thatâs unlocked doors to a vibrant portfolio career as a writer, coach, and now PhD researcher. Where I struggled to find an agent, Scribble Ink stepped in and got me the gig, the contract, the commission. When networking felt daunting, Scribble Ink became my conversation starter. Itâs how I articulated my purpose, built my career ecosystem, and found a way to support others in doing the sameâcrafting their own multi-passionate ventures. Iâve loved being part of its evolution, especially now that itâs found a home in what I consider the best corner of the internet: Substack!
đŹ Why Substack?
Substack felt like the perfect fitâa space where community, creativity, and conversation meet without the noise. As a quirky intro-extrovert, Iâve always been drawn to platforms that allow for both solitude and connection. Substack gives me room to share deep reflections and creative experiments and build a soul tribe of fellow thinkers, makers, and doers. Itâs not just about newslettersâitâs about nurturing a space where storytelling lives, where learning is layered, and where dialogue doesnât get buried in an algorithm. Here, I can show up fullyâas a writer, coach, and curious human navigating the beautiful mess of a creative life.
đŻ What Youâll Find
Substack is the storytelling playground where all my worlds meet. Think of it as a creative patchwork of reflections, experiments, and celebrationsâpart journal, part coaching guide, part behind-the-scenes companion.
Youâll find three key content streams:
âđœ Scribble Ink: Coaching
Welcome to All Things Scribble Inkâyour go-to for updates on workshops, coaching bundles, eCourses, launches, and creative resources. Itâs where practical support meets soulful strategy, and where you'll uncover the Scribble Scrolls workbooks, tools, and templates to build your Legacy Library of work.
đ The Chronicles of Nadia: Writing
Before anything, I am a writer, and this is where the stories live. A candid, chaotic, creative space for the unfolding chapters of my writing life. Think serialised novellas, bite-sized prose, afro-surreal snapshots, and genre-bending ramblingsâall served with a generous helping of Millennial Punk flair and village values.
đ The Accidental Academic: PhDâing
I never planned to become an academic. I fell into it between script drafts, coaching sessions, and a well-timed existential spiral. This section shares the real story behind my PhDânovelisation experiments, adaptation theory, unfinished essays, methodology rants, and the chaos of turning passion into citation. All delivered with dry humour and realness.
đ Valuing the Village: Sustaining the Soul Tribe
This is more than just a place for me to post updatesâitâs a space for curious minds, bold hearts, and multi-passionate humans who believe in the power of storytelling and community.
This platform is my way of making what I already doâcreative coaching, writing mentorship, and storytelling supportâmore accessible, affordable, and just as personable as our in-person sessions. Whether youâre dipping your toes in with a free subscription or diving deeper through one of the paid Membership Journeys, youâll find tools, prompts, reflections, and conversations designed to support your growth.
This is a place where you donât have to wear a mask. A place for big ideas, silly questions, honest breakthroughs, and creative connections that actually mean something.
