The IAJW (International Association for Journal Writing) is a global online membership community for journal writers of all levels. Members get live monthly events, an expert interview library, journaling prompts and tools, a recording library, and 20% off the IAJW store.
It is led by Lynda Monk, MSW, RSW, CPCC, and welcomes members worldwide — whether you journal quietly on your own or thrive writing in community.
IAJW membership is $19 per month or $190 per year (USD). The annual plan works out to two months free — a 17% saving versus paying monthly.
Both plans include full access to all member benefits and bonuses, and you can cancel anytime.
Membership includes three live monthly experiences — the Writing Alone Together Circle, JournalTalks guest expert interviews, and the Journal Lounge — plus an expert interview library, regular journaling prompts and tools, and a recording library so you never miss a session.
Members also receive 20% off the IAJW store, early access to programs, and exclusive member-only content.
The IAJW is led by Lynda Monk, a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) and Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) with over 30 years of experience.
She is co-editor and author of several books on journaling, and writes and speaks widely on journaling for wellness, growth, and creativity.
The membership is for aspiring, new, and seasoned journal writers alike. Whether you want to start a practice, deepen an existing one, or use journaling to gain clarity, heal, grow, or create, the community is designed for you.
It suits both people who prefer to write quietly and be inspired, and those who want to connect with fellow journal writers worldwide.
