My free weekly newsletter explores poetry, art, and creativity. It’s for fellow travelers in words and image. Subscribe if that’s you and share it with someone who might enjoy it.
I’m the author of three books, translator of four, and have over a dozen years of teaching and mentoring experience—including directing the Writing Studio at Georgia State University, a major R1 institution. I love working closely with poets at every stage, whether we’re shaping a single poem or a full-length manuscript. I offer personalized consultations and one-on-one mentorship for writers looking to grow their craft outside an MFA program. If this feels like a good fit, please send me a note to andreajurjevic9@gmail.com. I’d love to connect!
TESTIMONIALS:
⭐ My work has benefited from Andrea’s finely tuned ear. Because she’s a non-native speaker with an impressive command of English, Andrea offers insight into language that injects poems with a special vividness. Whether she has offered a word change or overall feedback on a piece, my immediate response has been “Yes, that’s it! Karen Paul Holmes, winner of the 2023 Lascaux Poetry Prize
⭐ Andrea’s biggest strength as an instructor is her ability to inspire confidence in every student on every level. She is a master at fostering community in the classroom and at selecting works that are current, diverse, and rich in both technical achievements and emotions. Stephanie Brooks
⭐ Learning underneath Andrea drastically affected how I write and interact with poetry. Coming into her course with a surface-level appreciation for poetry, Andrea’s passion for reading and writing emanated in every lesson she gave, being so contagious as to deepen my love for the craft exponentially. If you have the chance to develop your writing alongside Andrea, consider yourself lucky and seize the opportunity. Harrison Wayne
