Pamela Mahoney Tsigdinos

Pamela Mahoney Tsigdinos (Sig-din-us) is an award-winning author, freelance writer and infertility survivor. In her first book, Silent Sorority, Pamela shares with naked candor, humor and poignancy the intensity and absurdity of confronting infertility. This experience is particularly overwhelming in an era of designer babies and helicopter parents. Silent Sorority is the antidote to the "momoir." It gives voice to the large but little known population of women left to confront the often unpredictable and lasting impact of failed infertility treatments. Relationships and identity are among the casualties. With raw honesty Pamela draws from her experience to explore the stigma associated with infertility and the complex effects of living involuntarily childless.

Her follow-up ebook, Finally Heard: A Silent Sorority Finds Its Voice, incorporates wisdom from ‘Generation IVF’ designed to spark discussion about infertility and the little discussed aftermath of infertility treatments.

Pamela first dealt with the confusion and weirdness of infertility in isolation. While writing Silent Sorority she started her first blog, Coming2Terms, which allowed her to connect with women around the world also looking to reconcile the challenges of living in pro-natal societies. Her international readership includes those who have never stepped foot in a infertility clinic, those pursuing infertility treatment, those who became mothers after treatment or adoption, and those, who like her, are building lives without once sought after children.

Pamela's writing is featured in a variety of media outlets including The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, WIRED, FORTUNE, Marie Claire, Huffington Post, Journal of Marketing Management, BuzzFeed, NYT's Motherlode Blog, Seleni Institute, Medium's Human Parts and More.com. She has been profiled in The New York Times, The Globe and Mail, Redbook, The American Prospect, The Ottawa Citizen, The New Atlantis, Vancouver Sun, The Broad Side, PopSugar, Women's eNews, and The NotMom.com.

She earned a B.A. in English Literature at the University of Michigan and an M.A. in Organizational Communication at Wayne State University in Detroit. After working 10 years in the auto industry, she lived and worked in Silicon Valley. When she's not writing, she enjoys travel and discussing history, indie films, documentaries, politics, current events and literature with her husband and friends. She is passionate about being a voice for those who experience trauma as a result of failed infertility treatment.
