Your Story. Your Ideas.
Your Next Chapter.
Healing Time Publishing is a creative publishing and development company built for people who have something inside of them they're ready to do something with.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Sometimes that's a book. Sometimes it's an idea that needs direction. Sometimes it's a goal that needs accountability, a creative experience that brings people together, or knowledge and experience that could become something more.
We provide publishing support, coaching, creative experiences, workshops, resources, and opportunities designed to help people move from “I've been thinking about it” to actually creating, building, and moving forward.
At Healing Time, support doesn't mean taking over. We believe you should understand what you're building, have a voice in the process, and remain connected to what belongs to you.
We help you figure out what to do with it.
Because It Was Truly
Time to Heal.
Healing Time wasn't a name I chose because it sounded good. It came from a season when I finally had to face what was hurting me.
As I began my own healing journey, I understood something differently: we have to take the time to heal, or the things we leave unhealed can continue to hurt us—and sometimes the people around us.
Healing gave me freedom. It helped me find my voice. It taught me to love myself in ways I didn't know I could. And it allowed me to see that there was more for me beyond what had hurt me.
I knew I couldn't be the only one.
That's where Healing Time began.
Today, that meaning still sits at the heart of what we do. Whether someone is writing a book, pursuing a goal, creating something new, or simply finding the courage to use their voice, Healing Time is a space for people to create, grow, and move forward.
Timi Dunlap
I wanted to be an author when I was a little girl.
But I didn't know a single Black author. I didn't see anyone who looked like me doing what I dreamed of doing, and somewhere in my young mind, I decided that meant it wasn't possible for me.
So I buried the dream.
Years later, I wasn't searching for that little girl's dream. I was searching for relief.
I was already a mother of four when, at 19 weeks pregnant, I experienced a near-death experience that changed my life. What followed was months of uncertainty—an extended hospital stay, giving birth prematurely, leaving the hospital without my baby, countless appointments and tests for both of us, more difficult news, and then the world shutting down during COVID.
By then, I was exhausted in ways sleep couldn't fix. I didn't know what came next. I just knew I couldn't keep carrying everything the same way.
One day, after finally convincing myself that I could get behind the wheel again, I drove somewhere I'd never been, to waters I'd never seen, looking for what I can only describe now as a safe place.
On the drive home, my two youngest slept in the backseat while I let the tears fall. I asked God one simple question:
And the answer I received was:
I laughed.
Of all the things He could have told me, He led me straight back to the dream I had abandoned as a little girl.
This time, I listened.
Not long afterward, a writing opportunity found me. I said yes—and I never looked back.
Writing helped me find my voice again. It became part of my healing, but it also showed me something bigger: sometimes what we've buried isn't gone. Sometimes we just need the courage, support, and space to return to it.
And eventually, I built Healing Time so I could help make room for other people to discover what might still be possible for them.
What Have You Been Sitting On?

You don't have to have all the answers before you begin.
Healing Time is a place to create, grow, and move forward.
