Jane Gerhard

Jane Gerhard holds a Ph. D. In American Studies from Brown University and is the author of four published books. After many years in academic writing, she now works as a writing coach, independent editor, and teacher through her Providence-based practice, Writing Therapy.
Her work focuses on the inner life of writing. Drawing on Internal Family Systems, she helps writers recognize and work with the parts of themselves that shape their creative process—especially those shaped by past injuries, doubt, or inhibition. Her approach supports writers in clearing space internally, so that creativity can feel more fluid, grounded, and alive.
This workshop reflects that commitment: creating a space where writers can reconnect with their own voice in a way that feels both safe and generative.
