Ghost Stories
A self-guided writing experience for turning the things that haunt us into story.
What if you didn’t have to tell the truth exactly as it happened?
Some stories are difficult to write because we don’t remember enough. Others, because we remember too much. And some are too close to enter directly.
Ghost Stories invites you to approach what haunts you sideways, using fiction, memory, and imagination to turn lived experience into something new.
Lean into a metaphor, then make it real. Shift the ending to something surprising. Turn someone real into a ghost.
Sometimes making stuff up gets us closer to the truth.
A little strange. A little haunted. Entirely yours.
This self-guided digital study is filled with readings, creative explorations, writing experiments, prompts, and a Ghost Library to wander through along the way.
Download it. Print it. Scribble all over it. Move through it at your own pace.
This Might Be For You If…
There’s a story you keep circling but haven’t known how to write.
You want to write from your life without necessarily writing memoir.
You’re curious about fiction or autofiction but have no idea where to begin.
You remember your life in images, fragments, sensations, rooms, objects.
You’re worried about what might happen if you tell the story exactly as it happened.
Or maybe you just want permission to make something weird.
Ready to see what’s haunting you?
Ghost Stories is an independent writing study you can move through entirely at your own pace. Read it on your screen, print it out, write all over it, leave it alone for a while and come back when something starts knocking again.
