I feel alive when you feel alive. Through my unique blend of skill, experience, and intuition, I ensure people make deep discoveries through guided writing. I shifted 25 years of editorial, magazine publishing, and writing experience, into teaching, leading, and intensive one-one-one work with individuals. Through a specific prompt-based writing approach I’ve cultivated, I’ve witnessed people’s unimaginable breakthroughs.

I’m a published author of the acclaimed book, “Me, My Selfie & Eye – a midlife conversation about lost identity, grief, and seeing who you are.” I’m proud of what it shares, how it’s helped people feel less alone. Having a published book was a major accomplishment, especially because I never thought I’d write one. Which is why I understand people’s struggles with writing. I. Totally. Get. IT! I’m beside you every milestone breakthrough of the way.

I’m finishing four books: “WinSome & Fuckdamonium,” a collection of my poems; “The Art & Invitation of Self-Conversation – Writing That Moves You Beyond Fear To Freedom,” based on my work and results with hundreds of clients; “The Villain’s Journey,” a small book illuminating the beautiful uglies of Self-honesty; and a yet-to-be-titled anthology of poems, collected from every state’s Poet Laureate, reflecting on the human experience of 2020.

I graduated magna cum laude with a MFA in creative writing. I teach creative writing to hundreds of teen and adult students at pubic institutions and workshops. I work with numerous clients to ensure they successfully realize book-project dreams. I hold weekend retreats on topics related to crushing procrastination, clarifying themes, and charting productive paths to complete writing projects. I host a podcast talkshow, “Eyedentity Talk with Janna Lopez” and interview legends and luminaries from all walks of life. I’m a former magazine publisher and editor.
