Jillian publishes the fabulous twice-weekly Substack newsletter Noted, which has been named as a Substack Featured Publication for two years running (2022 and 2023), earning something of a cult following along the way. Noted explores the note-taking habits of writers, artists, musicians, politicians, scientists, and other notable figures (pun intended), offering inspiration and ideas to writers of all stripes.

In the first hour of this free WriteSPACE Special Event, Helen and Jillian discussed some favorite exemplars of creative note-taking and what we can learn from them.

In the second hour, they lead a hands-on discussion and workshop for WriteSPACE members, guiding participants through some playful note-taking experiments of their own.

The first hour of this live 2-hour Zoom event was FREE to all registered participants, the second hour was for WriteSPACE members only.

A video of the first hour is available to all registered participants; the full 2-hour video is available for WriteSPACE members in the WriteSPACE Library.
