While there is a body of research on writer’s block, the predominant cohort studied has been undergraduates and academics. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression subscale for Anxiety (Zigmond & Snaith, 1983) was used to measure anxiety and the Writer’s Block Questionnaire (Rose, 1984) to measure writer’s block, perfectionism and fear of evaluation. Six optional open-ended questions were included. The large sample size enabled statistical tests and correlations were found between anxiety, writer’s block and evaluation; and between writer’s block, perfectionism and evaluation. Non-fiction writers scored highest for perfectionism. High levels of anxiety were found in the sample. Respondents who scored highly for writer’s block and/or anxiety were more likely to engage in negative self-talk. The findings indicate that counselling interventions focusing on anxiety may be useful in overcoming writer’s block. Keywords: writer’s block, anxiety, perfectionism, judgement, fear of evaluation
