Now Available!

It's time to reclaim, retell, and rewrite your story, your way.

We are all creative creatures who make sense of our experiences, feelings, and the world through creation. But what happens when what we’ve experienced or gone through is much too difficult to put down on the page?

In 2017, trauma survivor, storytelling coach, and author Jade Eby set out to combine her two passions: trauma recovery and fiction writing. The result was a method of approaching the writing process and an incredibly powerful way to promote the healing of trauma.

In Forged in Fire: Writing Fiction to Heal, Jade Eby takes you through, step by step, the process of mining your own painful traumas and emotional upheavals in order to write a fictionalized narrative for your healing journey.

We all have a story to tell and it’s time to reclaim and rewrite it your way.

 YOUR STORY MATTERS.

let us show you how to leverage it.

Since the dawn of mankind, we’ve communicated and learned about the world through stories. The ancient Egyptians relied upon stories in the form of pictographs to truly understand one another. Later, the great empires of the world relied upon mythology to educate and comprehend the world. It’s our opinion that as a society, we’ve forgotten the healing properties of personal and creative expression. Our mission at Writing Fiction to Heal is to foster that deep sense of connection, recovery, healing, and self-growth through story.

“You should write a memoir!”

But what if the idea of writing a memoir about your life seems too overwhelming, too unlikely, and too invasive, yet you can’t shake the undeniable desire to write something, anything that may help you heal?

Enter Fiction.

Kind Words from others

  • Jessie C., Coaching Client

    “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.”

  • Joli T., Coaching Client

    “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.”

  • Lila M., Coaching Client

    “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!”
