Welcome to Pushing the Pen

Pushing the Pen is an emerging one-stop hub for public sector writing skills – supporting public servants who want to raise the standard of workplace writing.

Whether you’re:

• a Penfluencer – leading the charge on writing culture,
• a PenHolder – keeping templates and tone guides in shape, or
• a FineLiner – quietly improving your own skills day-by-day…

…you’ll find practical tools, writing examples, and real-world insights to support your work.

Popular topics include: writing committee reports, taking clear minutes, managing writing risks, communicating through change, and using AI well in daily writing workflows.

It’s early days yet (site launched on 13 July 2025) but new resources will be added regularly – join the mailing list to stay up to date.

Pushing the Pen is a growing project. Got a resource to share, or a question you’d like explored? Get in touch – this space grows stronger with every contribution.
