Hi, I’m Jade!

I’m Jade Eby—author, teacher, and creative rebel with a mission to build a space where writers and creatives can explore, grow, and evolve. With over 20 published books and a deep background in storytelling, trauma recovery, and bibliocoaching, I’ve spent years developing my own creative coaching methods that blend the craft of writing with the power of healing.

The Rebel MFA Sanctuary is my vision for a creative "school of life experiences," where writers at all stages can break free from the traditional mold. Here, we don’t just focus on the mechanics of writing—we focus on personal growth, creativity, and building community. Whether you join us for one-on-one coaching, semester-based classes, or as part of the sanctuary itself, you’ll find a supportive environment where you can experiment, learn, and connect with like-minded creatives.

In The Rebel MFA Sanctuary, it’s not just about writing a story—it’s about evolving your story.

Projects I’ve created with my community

Pssst… this just a small taste. We’ve got so much more to show you in the Sanctuary!

Introducing

The Rebel MFA Sanctuary

The Rebel MFA Sanctuary is a semester-based online education and community experience that packs a year’s worth of learning and connection into just a few months—without the hefty price tag of traditional programs or the emotional labor it causes. Dive deep, explore, and grow your craft on your own terms with guidance and support along the way.

“I signed up for this for the community and accountability, but I've already found so much more. This is a really lovely place you've created, thank you, Jade.”

With semester-based classes, personalized coaching, and a safe space for creative discovery, the Sanctuary is designed for those ready to break the mold and evolve on their own terms.
