About Me

Hello! I’m Molly Ovenden!

As a writer, artist, teacher and creative writing coach, I’m thrilled to support you along your creative journey.

I love circles, coffee, tea, Jesus, running and making creativity a habit.

I’m married to my bearded Englishman carpenter, Max (yes, he has a delicious accent and yes, that’s part of what won me over to be his wife!) and we live in Northern Minnesota, USA.

Wahoo! I’m so glad that you’ve joined me here.

From prayers to conversations with praying friends in small group…

From sharing insights to drafting a devotional…

From publishing the devotional, Closer: Spiritual Reflections for Writers & Thinkers (June 2022) to creating and publishing the prompts to go deeper, Closer: Companion Journal for Writers & Thinkers (November 2022)…

From teaching in-person and online journaling workshops, including “Get CLOSER to God with Journaling, a workshop” to American and British audiences of women…

From speaking to small groups and on television about journaling to releasing “Closer, the podcast” (June 2023)…

From emotional healing and personal growth through creative writing, journaling, art making as a spiritual practice to:

…Get Closer to God with Journaling, the Membership! (January 2024)
