Thank you sooo much for this class!!! You’ve provided me with answers to questions I did not even know I needed to ask. I feel what I learned from you on the very first module was worth the price of the entirety of the course. –Marcella Moy
I am so grateful that at 8 weeks I am fully organized and have a regular writing routine. At this rate, I will have my first draft of the book completed within 2 months. I am so grateful for the support and help to get me where I am today! So thank you, Tanja Pajevic and my fellow writers for helping me get where I am today! And, I am really, really enjoying the writing and feeling quite delighted by how this is turning out. –Elena Davis
The Memoir Mastermind journey has been not only educational, but has also provided the space for all of the participants to build a community that will be treasured long after our books are published. Tanja’s guidance and coaching brought us so much closer to fulfilling the dream of telling our stories using the craft of memoir. I can’t imagine getting this far without the Mastermind experience! –Cindy Powell

Find Accountability, Support and Community in the Writer’s Circle
The Writer’s Circle is a 3-month offering to give your writing the support it deserves.
In my 20 years of teaching writing, I’ve seen time and again how the impossible becomes doable when we’re held and supported in a kind and compassionate community. Especially if we’re writing memoir.
It’s also a lot more fun. And since the pandemic started, it’s become clear that writing is easier when we’re connected with our people.
That’s why I created this 3-month community offering, to give your project time, space and support to thrive.
The Writer’s Circle includes:
- Monthly teaching calls with time for Q&A to get your questions answered.
- Two group writing sessions each month, so you’ll have consistent, dedicated writing time for your project.
- A beautiful (and private) community forum where you check in each week to share your writing goals and get accountability.
- Resource library for writers.
- Author interview library.
- Staying committed to your project can be tough when you’re going it alone. Having accountability, support and a warm, welcoming community can make all the difference.
The Writer’s Circle is a 3-month offering built around accountability, support and a warm, welcoming community to help you and your writing thrive.
