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 comes from the website of the tremendously talented Keri Smith, writer and illustrator extraordinaire. (When you have time, you'll want to check out her entire website and her blog.) This is one of her many contributions to the online world -- 100 ideas (a work in progress). If you're suitably inspired, why not come up with a list of your own 100 ideas, things, activities, writing exercises -- whatever.... (via Keri Smith Illustration)
