Map Your Memoir

What You Need to Know to

Write a Compelling Memoir

(and Empower Yourself in

the Process)

Are you ready to write - and finish - your memoir?


How do you get started?

And what do you do next?

Or maybe you've been writing for years.

Working and reworking your memoir, with no clear progress.

Stopping and starting have only gotten you so far.

Same with white-knuckling your way through.

Workshops and writing groups have been helpful, but not as helpful as you'd hoped.

You're still not close to having a finished memoir.



I get it! And it's not your fault.


Most writing classes teach you how to write shorter pieces.

But writing a full-length book is a completely different process.


And memoir can be even more challenging because of its personal nature.


If you don't support your mind, body and soul as you're writing, it'll be 10x more difficult.


I know because I've been there. And it's why I've developed my unique system.


Because I want to show you how to create a compelling memoir while staying healthy, happy and whole.


Join this 60-Minute Map Your Memoir workshop to learn how to write a compelling memoir -- and empower yourself in the process.

In this workshop, you will:

1. Hear how I went from struggling to write my first book to creating a system that’s helped me write 5 books, 2 of which have been published.


2. Learn the 7 steps to writing a compelling memoir your reader wants to read.


3. Learn 4 essential components to staying healthy, whole and supported as you write.


4. Distill your memoir’s scope and learn how to shape your materials in a way that engages your reader.


5. Learn simple tools for supporting your mind, body and soul as you write.


6. Leave with clarity on your next steps.

Why This Work Matters


Writing The Secret Life of Grief has been a life-changing experience for me. It's opened up personal and professional possibilities as well as allowed me to step into a more empowered sense of self.


My work is designed to help empower other writers. And writing memoir can be particularly challenging.


After having struggled for years to write a book that's aligned with my vision AND stay healthy, happy and whole while writing it, I want to share what I've learned with you.


There really is an easier way.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for you if you want to write a memoir that's compelling for your reader. It's a good fit whether you're just starting out, are stuck in the messy middle or are trying to figure out how to get your memoir over the hump.


Map Your Memoir is for those looking to make the memoir-writing process easier and kinder.

Who isn't this workshop for?

This workshop isn't for you if you're looking to judge or pontificate. This is a safe and inclusive space meant to help you move forward with your memoir.

Will there be a recording?

Yes! If you can't make it live, please sign up and you'll get the recording.


A lot of times, though, those recordings just sit in our inbox. You'll get a lot more value if you show up live and engage with the exercises during our call. That's why I encourage you to block off your calendar and be with us live.

Will there be a hard sell?

Nope. At the end of our time together, I'll offer a way for us to continue working together if that interests you. If not, you'll still walk away with clarity on your memoir and with tools for moving forward.

Any other questions?

Please email me at info@tanjapajevic.com and I'll get back to you within 48 business hours.

If you can't make it live, sign up and you'll get the recording. A lot of times, though, those recordings just sit in our inbox. You'll get a lot more value if you show up live and engage with the exercises during our call.
