My name is Dr. Mitchell R. James. With over fifteen years of experience as a professor of writing, I have dedicated myself to guiding individuals on their writing journey. As a published novelist, poet, and scholar of writing studies, I’ve had the opportunity to lead workshops and presentations on writing both in the United States and abroad. My expertise extends to holding a PhD in writing composition, and I am a certified instructor for the Journal to the Self journaling method through the Therapeutic Writing Institute in Boulder, CO. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals express themselves through creative writing and empowering them to take an active role in their mental health and wellness through various journaling modalities. Let’s embark on a journey to explore the transformative power of self-expression through writing.
