Hello! I'm Nicole.

Creative edgewalker. Award winning essayist. Best selling author.

Founder of the R/evolution Story Lab, a writing collective for creators, authors, change agents, luminaries, truth tellers, seekers + meaning makers ready to claim their voices, expand their creative power, and evolve together through storying.

READ MY WORK IN:

Bloom was selected as one of CBC's 45 must-read books, and it is easy to understand why. It arrives at a cultural moment when conversations about girlhood, bodily autonomy, and the long reach of patriarchal conditioning feel more urgent than ever. The book is not a self-help guide, though it may well help. What it offers is the feeling of being accompanied, of having your experience reflected back to you with intelligence, warmth, and humour.

Breit, an award-winning poet and essayist who identifies as queer and neurodivergent, brings a nuanced sensitivity to the experience of growing up without adequate language for one's own desires and identity. Her letters exhibit an awareness of what it means to be on the margins of what the world expects you to be, and of the shame that descends when you cannot yet articulate why you feel like an outsider.

Over the past decade I've helped thousands of writers move past blocks, improve their craft, publish their work and win awards. In the R/evolution Story Lab I share everything I know (and continue to learn!) about the transformative practice of storying our lives.

Storying is the future of memoir – and I'm leading the revolution.

Prefer to read? I wrote this storying manifesto just for you.

"R/evolution Story Lab IS a revolution of a writing collective.

It is not a writing group, it is a movement about writing authentically and continuing to expand our talents and library of work. It's intimate at the same time it's universal in connecting the sensibilities and desires of those who are called to write. These are my people. R/SL is where we meet.
