Healing Through Writing
Most journals hand you a blank page and wish you luck. This one comes with a guide who has lived every prompt, a free video workshop, and a community writing beside you. It’s made for grief, heartbreak, or any season asking more than you have left to give.
Free to start. No experience needed. Nothing to get right.
- From J. Raymond, a poet and writing coach followed by 500,000+ readers
- A free video workshop, one prompt at a time
- Live monthly calls with Jack
If it didn’t last, that wasn’t a failure.
If you’ve tried to journal and it faded after a few days, or a week or two, or it never brought any relief, the problem wasn’t you. A blank page and good intentions only go so far.
What’s usually missing is someone to walk you through it. That’s what Healing Through Writing adds: each prompt is taught on video by a writer who has lived these prompts himself, with different angles into each one. You write your way through what you’re carrying, instead of retelling the same story. And you’re not doing it alone.
Three ways to begin.
Start with the journal, follow along in the free workshop, and join the community whenever you’re ready. Or start with any one of them.
The Guided Journal
100 guided prompts, ten original poems, and the science of expressive writing, so you’re never facing a blank page alone. Signed copies, paperback or hardcover.
The Free Workshop
Short videos that walk you through the journal one prompt at a time: the angle, the guidance, and the why behind each one. No pressure, no experience required.
The Community
People writing alongside you, live monthly calls with Jack, and ongoing support, so the practice sticks long after the first week.
A guide beside you, one prompt at a time.
You don’t have to figure out how to begin. Each short lesson takes you into a single prompt, so you can write a little each day and keep going.
The angle
A fresh way into each prompt, so you write toward what’s true instead of circling the same story.
The guidance
What to do when it gets heavy, how to stay with it, and when to set the pen down.
The why
The reason each prompt is there and what it can open, from a writer who has lived them.
Don’t write alone.
The workshop gives you the guide. The community gives you the people: a circle of writers on their own healing journeys, with Jack in the room.

Good to know.
Yes. Register once and you can start right away. There’s nothing to buy, and no card is needed.
No. The workshop works on its own, and it’s built to pair with the journal. If you’d like the full experience, the journal is Step 1.
Especially. There’s no experience required, no right way to do it, and no audience but yourself.
Your first 30 days are free. After that it’s $19 a month, or $175 a year if you’d rather pay annually. You can join at any point, with or without the journal.
No. It’s guided expressive writing, a practice that many people find helpful when they’re moving through something heavy. It isn’t a substitute for professional care, and if you’re in crisis, please reach out to a mental health professional or a local crisis line.
Preorders are open now, in paperback or hardcover. Each copy is signed by J. Raymond and ordered directly through this shop.
You don’t have to have the right words. You just have to start.
Register for the free workshop and write your first prompt today.
Healing Through Writing is a creative and reflective practice, not therapy or medical advice. If you’re in crisis, please contact a mental health professional or your local crisis line.
