Some people have been writing their whole lives yet still struggle to find their voice. Others haven’t written since school, all that creative life stored up, wondering if it’s too late. It’s not too late, and if you write, even in journals, you are a writer.

Jack Grapes’ Method Writing© Program Online Writing Course

My goal and my life’s work is helping people find their voice on the page, and from there, we build your writing expertise. You will be amazed at what naturally emerges, not just in how your writing changes, but what you write about.

I’ve studied Jack Grapes’ Method Writing for over twenty years, and opened my own online writing school in 2017. My classes are live on Zoom, small enough that everyone is seen, and open to writers wherever you are in the world. It’s not a program you buy and forget about. It’s a real classroom, with real writers, and I’m there every session.

Jack Grapes’ Method Writing Advanced Level Online Class

Advanced Level Class

January 2027

Advanced students work with Jack Grapes’ second book, Advanced Method Writing: The Art of Tonal Dynamics. There are four additional levels covered in the book, plus over years of teaching, Jules has developed additional courses that keep even the most experienced writers growing. As you move through these levels, the shifts in your writing become visible to you and to everyone in the room.

I had no idea what Jules meant about finding my own voice, let alone finding a beautiful voice. I didn’t dare think of myself as a writer, even though I burned to be one. Cut to now, 2026, and I just published my first fiction book. I’m so grateful to Jules for her guidance on this journey, for picking me up when I was afraid, and for showing me how I can do better – one exercise at a time.

“Upon retiring after a great career in classical music, I was ready to try something new. A friend told me about Jules and her writing classes.

Nearly two and a half years later, I’m still at it. Her Zoom classes are so gratifying. They are a team effort, with my fellow students and me sharing feedback, and Jules with her expertise. Of greatest importance to me is rediscovering that creative spark that was such an integral part of being a musician.”

A WORD FROM MY MENTOR

“Jules has studied with me for years, mastering the concepts of Method Writing so well that often during class I’ve had her lead the group so I could sit back and learn from her.

She is empathetic to each person’s needs, clear about the concepts being taught, and effectively blends each lesson so the whole group benefits from her insights into writing and being a more positive life force. I’m so glad she’s going to spread the word of Method Writing and touch so many people’s creative lives.”
