Based on Cassie Premo Steele's interactive Birthing the Mother Writer column here at Literary Mama, this course will allow you to deepen your relationship to both your mother-self and your writer-self. Topics covered include self-care, the power of 'no,' accessing your wise voice within, and finding ways to deepen your writing. Each week, a reading from a Mother Writer will open discussion, and then writing prompts will allow participants to explore topics in a secure, confidential way. A Literary Mama writer who worked with Cassie earlier this year had this to say:

"Working with Cassie Premo Steele worked well for me because she offered very concrete feedback. The questions she asked got me going where I needed to go. She was direct, yet supportive. There is a fine line between encouraging and critiquing, and I feel Cassie Premo Steele is very adept in that arena."
