About Jaime 

A woman sitting on a chair in front of a window with potted plants, a laptop, and a red cabinet in a cozy indoor space.

Jaime deBlanc holds an M.A. in creative writing from the University of Texas at Austin. Her short fiction has been published in Catapult, Juked, and Post Road, and she has been the recipient of a MacDowell Fellowship and a Lighthouse Works Fellowship. She lives in Austin, Texas, where she coaches fiction and memoir writers.

Over the past ten years, I’ve designed and led writing workshops for the Center for Fiction, UT Informal, the Austin Public Library, and WritingWorkshops.com. My workshops on short fiction, memoir, and novel-writing have provided an inclusive and inspiring space for writers from diverse backgrounds to work toward their writing dreams.

I now focus on coaching writers to reach their long-held writing goals, including: completing stories and books, getting published in literary magazines, attending MFA programs, obtaining agent representation, and publishing books with large and small presses.

I'm a novelist and short story writer whose passion is working with aspiring writers to help them achieve their lifelong writing dreams.
