An online studio for writers who want to write
And keep writing.
Studio Sonder is a working studio for writers who want structure, accountability, and a place that makes it easier to show up consistently.
📌
Who We Are
The Studio started as a need, not a brand.
Studio Sonder exists because writing is hard to do alone. Not hard in the romantic way. Hard in the quiet, grinding way. The way weeks pass, and you’ve thought deeply about the story, but the writing itself hasn’t moved.
I know that feeling well.
It began with me. Hey, Rebel, I’m Demi.
…but it wasn’t really about me.
For years, writing sat at the centre of my life.
It mattered to me. I cared about it. I took it seriously.
And still, I found myself circling the same problems most writers do.
Too much thinking.
Not enough finishing.
Long stretches of working in isolation.
Bursts of intensity followed by guilt and drift.
I tried doing it “properly.”
I tried discipline. I tried freedom. I tried consuming more advice than anyone needs. I tried every degree and course under the sun.
What I kept coming back to was this:
I didn’t need more information.
I needed a place. A village. A community.
A place where writing was normal, not performative or elitist.
Where showing up messily mattered more than being impressive.
Where the work could exist in progress, not just in theory.
Studio Sonder started there.
Your stories matter.
Your human experiences matter more.
A few things are non-negotiable:
✔️ Writing improves through consistency, not pressure.
✔️ Most creative frustration stems from isolation, not from a lack of talent.
✔️ Accountability works better when it’s shared, not top-down.
You don’t have to be “on it” every week to belong.
📎 We take our writing seriously, but never take ourselves too seriously.
📎 We don’t perform productivity and never compete with one another.
📎 We don’t chase noise, vanity metrics, elitism, or exclusion.
Focus.
Flow.
Belong.
Create.
Studio Sonder wasn’t designed all at once.
It was shaped by taking messy action, by watching what actually helped our writers, creatives, and storytellers keep going.
⚔️ What didn’t work was noise.
⚔️ What didn’t work was endless content.
⚔️ What didn’t work was pressure disguised as motivation.
What did work was simple:
✏️ clear structure
✏️ shared accountability
✏️ small, repeatable rhythms
✏️ and the knowledge that someone else would notice if you showed up
So the Studio became less about teaching and more about holding space.
Less about “doing it right” and more about staying with the work.
That’s still the point.
The Rebels we search for in every lifetime…
✒️ Fiction and novel writers.
✒️ Screenwriters and scriptwriters.
✒️ Poets, lyricists and spoken word writers.
✒️ Copywriters, content writers and commercial writers.
✒️ Journalists, ghostwriters and non-fiction writers.
✒️ Podcasters, social media writers and newsletter writers.
✒️ Multi-hyphenates who need focus.
Rebellious writers don’t usually arrive at Studio Sonder by accident.
They’re often writers who:
❤️🔥 care deeply about what they’re writing or creating
❤️🔥 are tired of pretending they’ll write eventually
❤️🔥 don’t want to be managed, coached, or fixed
❤️🔥 want peers who understand the reality of being a writer
What our writers share is not a genre, but a feeling.
A sense that their words and stories matter, and that doing it alone isn’t working anymore.
For writers and storytellers who want a village and are willing to be a villager.
At our heart, Studio Sonder exists to make writing less lonely and more sustainable.
We give writers and storytellers:
🪩 a creative village to return to
🪩 a creative rhythm they can trust
🪩 and a sense that their creative process is meaningful, even when it’s unfinished
For many of our members, that’s the difference between their writing, creativity, or stories drifting and continuing.
Not forever. Just this week. Then the next.
That’s how things get made. That’s how we become alchemists.
Studio Sonder isn’t for everyone.
And it's not meant to be.
But if:
📎 you’ve been carrying your stories quietly for a long time
📎 you want a place that takes writing seriously without turning it into a performance
📎 you’re looking for structure that supports your creative process rather than overwhelms…
You’ll feel right at home inside the Studio.
