New York Area Writer Moms Spring Series

New York Area Writer Moms Spring Series

  • Google Calendar ICS

Scribente Maternum is a powerful community of writers who identify as mothers. We each have our own stories and struggles, but we are all writers and we are all mothers. Our retreats and other events celebrate children and grandchildren as inspiration while also providing the distance so necessary to be creative.

This spring event series for the New York Area chapter of Scribente Maternum is an incredible way to get to know some other writer-moms and take a moment to write, talk, and listen. All moms who write (and those who support them, too) are invited to share in these unique and special writing experiences.

Memories and Memoir

A Writing Class with Nicoletta LaMarca-Sacco

Thursday, March 5 | 1:00–3:00 PM
Thursday, March 12 | 1:00–3:00 PM
Thursday, March 19 | 1:00–3:00 PM

Memories often begin as fragments — a scent, a phrase, a kitchen table, a long car ride. When shaped with intention, they become stories. And when those stories are woven together, they become memoir.

In Memories and Memoir, we will explore how personal memories can transform into compelling narrative. Through guided prompts, shared discussion, and reflective journaling, participants will begin crafting stories rooted in nostalgia, childhood moments, life passages, and defining experiences.

This event is part of our nationwide Writing Together as Mothers mini retreats.

Join Scribente Maternum and other writer-moms for an entire day to write. We will spend time connecting and setting our intentions for the day, and then we will get writing! Just think - an entire day where you don't have to think about where your food or coffee is coming from, which tasks need to be accomplished, or who needs something from you. An entire day just to focus on you and your ideas.
