"It’s so lovely to know I’m not alone and that we can lift one another up. " -Nat |
*Have you always dreamed of being a writer and don’t know where to start?
*Do you lack the self confidence to get started?
*Have you dabbled with writing but instantly critiqued your work and left it hidden in a drawer?
*Do you want to do something that fits around your kids and makes you feel happy and fulfilled?
*Is it time you put yourself first and indulged in some self-care?
MumWrite is a community of mums who want to write or already write short fiction and poetry, with a particular focus on new writing techniques. The programme is online, which breaks geographical barriers. Beginners are welcome, as well as those who have been writing for a while.
MumWrite runs a regular programme for writing mums and also independent workshops to help mums enjoy some writing time, find peers, create a writing toolkit for the future, and develop as a writer. The programme is run by mum of two children, Nikki Dudley, who has two published novels, two published pamphlets and two published collections, as well as being published extensively in magazines and journals.
The supportive programme offers:
-a non-judgemental space for you to grow your confidence.
-a group that understand interruptions!
-writing prompts and support if you need to catch up or can't attend for any reason.
-a group that understands if you've had no sleep and not done your hair!
-a space filled with like-minded people.
-a space for both beginner and more established writers.
-much needed YOU time and self-care.
Workshops cover a range of things, including: list poems, picture prompts, resilience tasks, collaborative writing, combined forms, breakout rooms and discussions, building on your writing with different development activities, marketing, submissions, editing techniques, and more! Different courses cover different areas so check out the courses page.
MumWrite is for anyone who identifies as a mum. You may be someone who is expecting a child, someone who has had a child, a foster or adoptive mum, someone who has lost a child, someone who is a young mum, someone who is an older mum... You get the picture! You're welcome here!
I want to reach even more mums and help them on their writing journey.
