Class Description
This group is geared toward writers working on nonfiction related to motherhood—either mothering, being mothered, or both. Many students will have completed the instructor’s Writing Motherhood course through GrubStreet, although all are welcome. The purpose will be to share ideas, participate in discussion and in-class writing assignments meant to deepen your understanding of your work. The group will offer accountability, consistency, and engagement. The instructor will be available for one-on-one conversations related to your work during the group session.
Thanks to the excellent literary citizenship of our donors, scholarships are available for all GrubStreet classes. To apply, click the gray "APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIP" button. In order to be considered for a scholarship, you must complete your application at least one week before the start date of a class. Please await our scholarship committee's decision before registering for the class. We cannot hold spots in classes, so the sooner you apply, the better. Scholarships cannot be applied retroactively.

Zoom Participation:
In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.
Zoom Accessibility:
You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
