Just $43 for five weeks

My online writing workshops started nearly twenty-three years ago. The first one was for parents who have lost a child. As a bereaved mom I know the value of writing from the depths of pain and loss. Writing has been a gift that helped me through the early days after my son Daniel died. I believe it’s cheap therapy and can help anyone who wants to unload from a heavy heart onto the page.

With my courses, I send out a PDF with lessons each Monday. You work on these at your own pace and then send me the completed lesson by Friday. Over the time span of the five weeks, you will not only have learned a lot about writing, but you will be empowered to use it as a tool for getting your thoughts onto paper and find how it helps, heals, and honors.


Here’s the schedule for the Writing the Heartache Online Workshop

  1. Week One: Introduction – Getting to Know You
  2. Week Two: Introducing Your Loved One Through Poetry
  3. Week Three: Writing a Letter to Your Loved One and to Others
  4. Week Four: Writing for Change – The Essay
  5. Week Five: Writing for Publication

I started this workshop in 2001 for those, like me, who lost a child to death. Others who had a loved one (not a child) die took the course and found it beneficial. Then, those who had suffered wounds in their lives (significant sorrow and losses) participated in the workshop and told me that this course is for anyone who has experienced heartache. The testimonies speak loudly—writing through anguish brings healing, no matter what path you are on. ~ Alice J. Wisler
