WHO'S BEHIND THIS
I'm a poet, author, and writing coach. After a decade of writing full-time, including publishing a few best-sellers, I've decided to direct some of my efforts toward helping others do the same.
Nearly a million people follow my writing across social media. I've published eight books, and I coach aspiring authors around the world.
I made these guides for people who want to write but aren't sure where to begin or how to succeed. Healing Through Writing is for what you carry. J. Raymond Writing is for the book you want to make.
Pick a guide. Start with one page. Much love!
