About Writing Maps
SHIPPING UPDATE (August 2022): Orders from here in Spain can take anywhere between two weeks and two months to arrive, but the mail is reliable and no Writing Maps have gone lost in the post. I generally ship within 48 hours (the post office is just around the corner) and the maps will arrive, I promise! If, however, you'd like to add tracking to your order, which costs an extra €15, please email me before placing your order.
Hi, I'm Shaun Levin and I make Writing Maps. I'm also a writer and creative writing teacher. You can see more about my books here and join my creative writing classes here.

From Shaun Levin, the creator of Writing Maps:
"These maps grew out of my own practice as a writer, as well as out of the courses and workshops I've run over the past 20 years. Together with some exceptionally talented illustrators, my aim is to create a source of inspiration that draws on my love of writing and the ways it enriches and intensifies our engagement with the world around us. I'll write anywhere... in cafés, parks, art galleries, zoos, cemeteries and libraries. Then, like a magpie, I'll bring everything home again to work into a novel or short story. I hope these maps inspire and surprise you, and that you'll use them to deepen your love of writing."
A gift of inspiration. No more writer's block. Never be at a loss for something to write about. Inspiration to carry with you wherever you write.
Writing Maps have been featured in Time Out London, and been on recommended gift lists in The Independent and The Observer newspapers.
PLEASE NOTE: Most Writing Maps are devised with adult writers in mind. Some maps have content not appropriate for writers under 16. Recommended Writing Maps for younger writers include: The City of Inspiration Writing Map and the How to Write a Story Writing Map.
