Take your ideas further with guided journaling.
Give readers and listeners a personal way to explore the topics you bring into their lives. Turn a theme from your book, newsletter, or podcast into a guided session. They follow your prompts and write by hand.
Session creation is included with Premium. Participants use a free account.
Make the topic personal.
Your work can spark a question someone wants to spend more time with. A guided journaling session gives that curiosity a place to go, with prompts shaped by your perspective and time for their own thoughts.
A companion to the work you share.
Create a reflection around a piece you’ve already published or a topic you keep coming back to.
With an episode
Include a session link in your show notes so listeners can explore a question or theme after the conversation.
For readers of your book
Create a reflection companion to a chapter or theme and share the link through your website or reader resources.
In your newsletter
Offer a guided reflection as a welcome resource or alongside an essay that invites a more personal response.
Their reflections stay in their own journals.
Participants bring their own journal and write by hand, on paper. Journal Party guides the session without collecting their journal entries.
They choose what to share with you.
If you discuss the exercise later, they decide which reflections to bring into the conversation.
A few ideas to make your own.
Bring your own themes, stories, and perspective. These are starting points for a companion session.

Before you create a session
Can I share a session in show notes or a newsletter?
Yes. Publish your session and add the link to your show notes, newsletter, website, or reader resources. People open it in a web browser with a free Journal Party account and write in their own journal.
What do I need to create a session?
You’ll need Journal Party Premium to create and publish sessions. Free trials are available on eligible plans.
What does my audience need?
A free Journal Party account and their own journal. Sessions open in a web browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. The writing happens by hand.
Can I include sessions in something I sell?
Yes. Share a session link inside a coaching package, course, or membership you sell elsewhere. Anyone with the link and a free account can open it. You handle payments through your existing platform.
Give your audience a way to explore the idea.
Choose a theme from your next episode, essay, or book and turn it into a guided journaling session to share.
