About this listen

Do you want to connect with readers and listeners on a deeper level?

Do you want your books to stand out in a sea of content by being authentic and personal in your writing whatever the genre?

Are you interested in creative self-development?

If yes, Writing the Shadow is for you.

This is a book of my heart and it contains many personal stories—but this book is really about helping you reach readers and listeners with your words—and move to the next level in your writing.

Because we all long to write boldly, without filters or fear.

To spin stories that capture the messy beauty of what it means to be human. Tales that lay bare the truth of living—darkness and all.

But something holds us back.

Whispers of “Who do you think you are?” and “You don’t have permission to write that.” Our own self-censorship and the judgment of others keep us from writing freely—and sometimes, from living fully.

But all great art taps into darkness, and your most compelling work emerges when you embrace your full humanity—both light and Shadow.

In Writing the Shadow, I’ll guide you on an intimate journey to explore the darkness and discover the gold lying hidden in its depths. Gold that may be the source of your best creative work in the years ahead.

The Shadow is calling. It’s time to turn your inner darkness into words.

This felt like a 121 session with the author

I really liked how this book made me think about not only my reasons for wanting to write, but where I would pull my material from within my own experiences and realities. I’m more inspired than ever to put pen to paper. Highly recommend for those new to writing but don’t know where to start.

Loved this book

The last five years have shattered my concentration and ability to enjoy reading, something I have done voraciously since before I started school. I loved this book, it held my attention from start to finish, from the anecdotes, to the questions to ponder, the quotes and insights from other disciplines. And I've read a ton of -and had enough of- self help books in the last 25 years or so, and they don't even come close to this clear no nonsense delivery. I just wish it was longer.
