YOU HAVE A STORY INSIDE OF YOU,and you're desperate to tell it...
BUT YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHERE TO BEGIN…

Find out how in this 6-Week Workshop!
September 25-October 30
 

Have you ever thought to yourself...


  • I should write a book about my experiences

  • What if memoir isn't the best way to approach my story or I'm not ready to write about it directly

  • How can I turn my life story into something that helps heal my wounds and moves me forward

  • I wish there were a community of writers who are working through the same thing as I am

  • I would love to find a way to turn my story and experiences into something that helps others

What if...
  • You could stop the endless loop of painful memories from taking over your brain
  • You could explore some of your deepest, darkest thoughts about your past traumas, emotional upheavals, and painful experiences.
  • You could build an entirely new world to rewrite, recreate and redo parts of your life.
  • You could answer some of the questions about your trauma and pain that forever seem lost to you
  • You could wake up excited for your “page time”
  • You could get support from people who understand the hard times you’re going through and are there to celebrate your big wins.
Well, I'm here to tell you that it's possible. You CAN take those painful memories and alchemize them into fiction for the sole purpose of healing. This workshop will show you how.
“I worked with Jade through her Writing Fiction to Heal method and found my entire world changing. Her method of helping me take a painful event and turn it into a fiction story helped me heal and recognize where I had room to grow in my recovery.”
Jessie C., Coaching Client

This workshop is for you if:

  • You’ve always wanted to write in an effort to heal from your past traumas or emotional upheavals
  • You’ve thought about writing a novel or fictional story
  • You want to learn to take your real-life experiences and turn them into a compelling story
  • You want step by step guidance in how to turn reality into fiction and get support and encouragement along the way
  • You want to do this work alongside an experienced author and other writers who are growing through it, too.
“I was really interested in seeing what Jade’s Writing Fiction to Heal method was all about and during our coaching sessions, I realized how therapeutic it was to write out my feelings through fiction without having to relive my traumatic event. It was freeing!”
Lila M., Coaching Client
What makes this workshop unique?
  • It’s experiential in every sense of the word! You won’t be doing this workshop alone because I’ll be right there, doing the exercises alongside you
  • This workshop & the community take a trauma-informed approach and are tailored specifically to help writers with painful pasts learn to use writing fiction to heal
  • This workshop utilizes and leverages the wisdom and generosity of other teachers, mentors, and writers. I may be the “creator” of this workshop, but I’m by no means the only one teaching you these tools
  • This workshop has an abundance of perspectives throughout. There will never be a “right and only way” to do something. We embrace process, evolution, and experimentation in this workshop
  • Not only do I have lived experience with both writing fiction to heal and trauma… my education and training are also in these fields
  • Most importantly, this workshop is completely designed to set you up for success — every aspect has been built to ensure that you’re getting the most from your time, energy, and investment. 

Hey there, I'm Jade!
I'm an author of over 20 books, a storytelling coach, the creator of the Writing Fiction to Heal method and the creator of The Rebel MFA Degree and Sanctuary.

I help writers find and tell their stories their way. 

Years ago, I faced a big problem:

Figure out how to write about and through my pain, or succumb to the darkness that was consuming me.

I chose to write fiction.

And I want to show you how you can do it, too.

“After trying to write a memoir several times, I decided to try my hand at fiction instead. I found Jade through trauma recovery coaching and wanted to try out the WF2H method. Turns out, I’m much better at writing fiction than I am memoir! I have loved the process of getting my emotions down on the page in this story rather than mucking through writing the actual story I lived.”
Joli T., Coaching Client
