Writing Motherhood

Motherhood is a rich subject for writing. As Sarah Ruhl writes, “...motherhood is an undiscovered country in the literary sense, one we must venture into lest our experiences [go] unrecorded.”

Open to anyone who is a mother (self-defined) or wants to write about mothers. Open to both novices and seasoned writers.

This workshop will provide a space to explore our experiences of mothering through writing in any genre. We will mine the rich and abundant material that comes from the experience of mothering or being mothered, and I hope that the act of describing our experiences empowers us as writers and as mothers.

This workshop will use different prompts from the previous workshops on motherhood. We will spend our time writing and sharing our writing.
