My name is Sara Fredman and I’m a writer living in St. Louis. You can read some of my writing and interviews here. I became a parent shortly before I needed to start writing my PhD dissertation. At the time, I was desperate to hear from people who had successfully produced a significant body of writing while also, you know, producing an actual human body and continuing to keep it alive. Nine years and three pregnancies later, I’m still obsessed with hearing the granular details of how people get words on the page while parenting.

If you’re also that very specific kind of weirdo, please subscribe and come along on this magical journey wherein I talk to some of the most exciting writers out there who are also parenting children of all ages. Write Like a Mother is a newsletter for parents of all genders, for writers thinking about becoming parents, and for parents thinking about becoming writers.
