JanYourStory

JanYourStory is an annual writing challenge to write 500 words per day each day in January—to start your memoir or re-start it—and get momentum to write it throughout the year.

JanYourStory is a way your present self can better serve your future self—who wants you to write your story. Your challenge is to write your heart out in January.

We provide pep talks, writing prompts, Zoom write-ins, and a galvanizing community. This is not a high-pressure event, but rather an opportunity to restart, recommit, or just get some support for your writing.

We invite you RSVP so you’ll get updates about this awesome community event. Do so by signing onto our Community and going to PUBLIC EVENTS > JANYOURSTORY.

We’ll be rolling out a lot of information, new swag, and updates in these months leading up to January, and we’re looking forward to building the momentum to write together in January!!

We’re excited to have you be a part of Memoir Nation.
