This May, Memoir Mentors will celebrate five years of writing, growth, friendship, and community. To honor this milestone, we’re creating an anthology showcasing the stories and voices that make our group so special.

The theme for this collection is “The Day That Changed Everything.”

This could be the moment when your life took an unexpected turn, a realization that shifted your path, or a choice that defined who you are today. It’s about those pivotal moments—whether joyful, heartbreaking, or somewhere in between—that stay with us and shape our lives.
