Writing Parenthood: 4 Session Generative Seminar starting February 25
Tuesdays, 1-3pm Pacific Time, starting February 25
Parenthood is a radical experience that often comes with huge shifts in identity, lifeways, and our understandings of what it means to be alive, in community, raising humans. As writers, we come to the page to process, analyze, and make meaning of our experiences, and yet parenthood (certainly early parenthood) leaves little room for the kind of reflection that literary work demands.
This generative seminar will serve as a space to consider where your work as a writer and your life as a parent intersect. We will think together about how to work with these intersections, considering where they make the work more challenging and what we can do to navigate those challenges, as well as where they make the work richer and what we can do to pull from that well.
In this 4 session generative seminar, we will split our time between generating new work and mutually considering the craft of personal writing and contemporary literary representations of parenthood. We’ll read Krys Malcolm Belc, Erika Morillo, Kelly McMasters, Lucas Mann, Amanda Montei, and other writers who are writing cultural criticism and memoir on parenting. Together, we will do generative exercises and offer process feedback, with your independent writing building toward a short form (essay, chapter, article) work of your choice, which you’ll complete and edit during the course.
You’ll leave this class as part of a nurturing creative community of writer parents, equipped with new or honed tools for nonfiction writing and a deeper understanding of how to explore themes and ideas on the page. You’ll pick up craft tools for research, generation, and revision, and you’ll create a working draft of an essay, chapter, or article. This class includes a 30 minute 1:1 feedback session with Margo.
If you are a parent, this space is for you. While parenting spaces are often de facto mom spaces, this class warmly welcomes parents and caregivers of all genders.
I am so excited to be sponsoring two full scholarships for new parents. These scholarships, which are specifically for the parents or caregivers of children 5 and under, have already been dispersed. Please stay tuned via my newsletter for future scholarship opportunities <3.
This is a 4 session seminar. We meet on Zoom, Tuesdays, 1-3pm Pacific Time, starting February 25
