Meet the founder

Maryjane, Maja

A letter from the writer behind the city.

Dear reader,

I’m Maryjane–
Maja, if you stay a while.

This is where I unravel
in words, in fragments, in feeling–
and everything in between.

There’s more coming…
a project,
something I’m quietly building.

I’m also growing a book club
and a publishing house
@thepapervillecity

Until then,
be kind–
and spread the word.

– Bard Maja
words are how I breathe. thank you for being here.
