Welcome to Author Circle!

I’m so glad you found your way here.

If you’re a writer, coach, consultant, or creative professional sitting on a lifetime of hard-earned knowledge—but turning it into something profitable feels like a mystery…

If you’ve started a newsletter (or want to), but growth is slow and writing feels more like a chore than a joy…

If you dream of building a business but can’t quite see how this will ever become something real…

I get it—because I was there too.

Who am I?

I’m Neera Mahajan, author of 8 books and creator of the Author Circle newsletter. I help creative professionals turn their knowledge into income streams through my 90-Day Write-Grow-Monetise Program so they can build a business with clarity, confidence, and a clear roadmap.

I spent four years writing on Substack with little to show for it—until I realized the problem wasn’t my writing. It was with my focus.

I was writing, yes.

But I wasn’t growing.

I wasn’t monetizing.

I was just pouring words into the void.

So I created the system I wish I had when I started: a simple, 90-Day plan to help me write better, grow smarter, and monetize without selling my soul.

I called it, 90-Day Write-Grow-Monetize Transformation. Since using this system:

• My subscriber count has 5X’d in six months.

• I hit the Top 13 in the Substack Education Leaderboard.

• And—most importantly—my business is growing exponentially.

What do I offer?

Each week, I share one clear, actionable step to help you build a profitable online business around your expertise.

You’ll get:

• Practical writing tips that don’t suck your soul

• Growth strategies that don’t require dancing on Instagram

• Monetization advice that feels ethical and authentic

It’s the system I built to turn my writing into a real business—and I want you to steal it to share it with you!
