Literary Mama: a literary magazine for the maternally inclined
First to recommend
Description
LiteraryMama provides a unique home to writing that is both "literary" and "mama." As the site's guidelines note, "While plenty of other online literary magazines and journals publish writing like this, none devote themselves exclusively to writing about motherhood. And while there are other motherhood-centered sites that publish some fantastic writing, they tend to stick to shorter, non-fiction pieces. At Literary Mama, writers explore ideas and emotions that may be outside the usual scope of commercial writing." The result is consistently thought-provoking writing by mother writers that delves below the surface of motherhood.
The site publishes fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, literary criticism, book reviews, columns, and profiles about mother writers.
Also not to be missed -- Literary Mama's blog, which features Jennifer Lawrence (MUBAR). (via Mother Shock)

This is one of her many contributions to the online world -- 100 ideas (a work in progress).
