Do You Have an Important Story to Tell? 

I’ll bet you do.  

Maybe this sounds familiar. You’ve always wanted to write a book. Share your story.  

Perhaps you’ve stopped and started. Told yourself this was the year you were finally going to write your book. And then life took over. With everything on your plate, was it any wonder that your book never quite got written?  

I get it!  

When you don’t have the time or support to write your book, it’s easy to keep putting off. A week turns into a month turns into a year. Or more. 

That's what happened to me. 

For almost 20 years, I helped people with their stories—teaching creative writing and business writing to university students, consulting with businesses and leading small, intimate workshops using the power of writing for personal clarity.  

Getting my own book into the world, though, was a different story. For years, I stopped and started different projects, trying to find the time to write, and trying to figure out what my readers wanted. Underlying everything was the nagging fear of how my book would be received.  

In 2014, I made a personal breakthrough. Instead of stalling over book projects for years (as I’d been doing), I wrote a book in months using the same system that I’d refined with my clients over the years.  

Here’s the thing: once I published that book, it changed everything. I felt like there was nothing I couldn’t do now that I’d published a book! Which made it that much easier to write my second book.  

I know how hard it is to wait--I did it for years. But getting your book written can be so much easier than you think!  

I want to show you how easy it can be to jumpstart your book, and I want to give you a roadmap to help you get there. Writing a book doesn’t have to be slow and difficult, and you don’t need to wait for a magical chunk of time to open up before you start.  


Hi, I'm Tanja Pajevic, and I believe in the fierce power of books.

Whether you’re writing a business book, self-help, “how-to,” or memoir, I’m here to support you. I’m here to help you get your book written. 

Because the world needs your gifts, my dear, perhaps now more than ever.  

That’s why I want to help you get your book written this year, not some distant day in the future. 

Your story matters.  

So let’s get started! 

Introducing:

The Jumpstart Your Book Virtual Retreat 

A 3-hour live, online retreat you can access anywhere.  

Saturday, January 11, 2020 10:00 a.m.—1:00 p.m. MT  

During our time together, you’ll get crystal clear on  

  • why you’re writing your book,  
  • who it’s for, and  
  • what your next steps are. 


(Psst: The answers to these first two questions drive everything. Knowing your book’s specific audience and goal will save you tons of time and money, as well as lots of revisions. Skip this and you’re setting yourself up for lots of frustration and rewrites.)  

We’ll also nail down your book’s main themes AND begin your outline.  

You’ll leave this 3-hour workshop with a roadmap for your book, as well as a clear set of next steps.  

How cool is that?!  

Here’s how it works:  

We’ll meet on Zoom, an online teleconferencing platform. After you register, you’ll receive log-in information which will allow you to access our virtual retreat from virtually anywhere (as long as you have phone or internet connection).  

The retreat will be a mix of teaching, exercises and plenty of hands-on support. It’ll be highly interactive, with plenty of time for questions. Because I’m here to support you, no matter where you’re at!  

*Please note that this workshop is geared toward memoir and nonfiction.

What others are saying:

Working with Tanja was an inspiring, empowering experience! She is the kind of mentor that makes you feel not only supported and encouraged in your writing endeavors, but also in life’s challenges. –Sherrie Scott

I think you created this directly for me. I’ve been vacillating on my book for months … sucking up all my energy. This helped me be brave and just decide already! – W.K.

I knew I liked Tanja when she started talking. Really appreciate the space she set, and the intimacy of the group. Would highly recommend the JYB call to people at any phase in the writing process looking for some support and a chance to dive in! –M.G. 

Definitely would recommend [this workshop]! I thought it was a helpful kickstarter for anyone working on any type of book project ... I loved all the prompts and questions and was surprised by how easily my ideas flowed and how excited I got about putting this book together. – Ellen Nordberg  

Thank you, Tanja! I found your prompts positive and thought-provoking. You helped me get clear on what I needed to say NO to so that I could say YES to my book! –J.S.  

I am so grateful to work with Tanja ... she reignited a light in me that believes not only in achieving this project, but making it successful. Much gratitude for the brilliant support. – Patrice Bazile

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: I can’t make it. Can I still get the recording? 

A: You bet! You’ll receive the recording within 48 hours, though you’ll be missing the interactive element that comes from attending live. Some introverts appreciate this, though. Ask yourself how much support you want and need. 

If you’d like to do the live retreat but can’t make this date, please email me at tanja@tanjapajevic.com. I plan on offering the retreat again in the future.  

Q: I started my book, but got stuck. Will this help? 

A: Definitely. A lot of times we get stuck because we’re not clear on what we’re trying to accomplish with our book. This retreat can help gain you clarity as well as a clear path forward.  

Q: I want to write a book to claim my business expertise. Is this retreat a good fit for me? 

A: Absolutely! If you’re writing on a topic of your expertise, you’re already ahead of the game. I think you’ll be surprised at how easy and straight-forward it can be to write a book like this. 

Q: I’m writing fiction. Is this retreat for me? 

A: Although this can certainly be helpful to starting your novel, the tactics in this workshop are mainly geared toward memoir and nonfiction books. 

However, if you're looking for help getting started, committing to a writing schedule and setting yourself up for success, these are all things we'll be addressing during our time together. I'd recommond asking yourself where you're at and what kind of support you're needing.  

 

Q: I’m writing memoir. Will this retreat be helpful to me? 

A: Definitely! Getting clear on why you're wantng to write a memoir and who it's for is a critical first step to writing memoir--as is figuring ou the scope of your story. Some newer writers skip this step, setting themselves up for confusion and an endless series of rewrites. Getting clear on these questions when you're starting out will save you time, money and frustration, I promise!

 

Q: I'm having difficulty registering. 

A: Email me at tanja@tanjapajevic.com and we’ll get you set up. (If you don’t hear from me within 48 hours, please check that my response isn't trapped in your spam filter.)  

Q: Any other questions?
