The Writing in the Dark newsletter & creative community is based on Jeannine Ouellette’s beloved workshop by the same name. Writing in the Dark is a vibrant home for writers & creatives committed to exploring the nexus of language, art & truth.
Clear advice, backed up by solid examples—there is a craft book waiting to be written, surely.

This is the best thing I’ve read all year on creative nonfiction writing. I feel like I took an entire class just reading this! Thank you!

I read your newsletter with delight, and found your Eleven Points post to be excellent, to the point, and perfect. For me, it was seismic.

So many lines in this that I want to quote and reference back that I do not know where to start. The writing exercise has my brain spinning, but just for sheer beauty of language, writing instruction aside, I so deeply loved this.

I cannot recommend Jeannine Ouellette’s Writing in the Dark highly enough. Every time I read her posts or am lucky enough to learn from her in person, I come away with new respect for her deep yet accessible knowledge and insight.
