We’re pleased to share this new website with you, from one of our guest writers, Laura Lynn Brown.
Of course we’re partial to the Poetry Moms and the Writing Moms categories. And we’re also delighted that this multi-author website could present a new writing opportunity for you. Watch for the open submissions period later this spring (they’ll be looking for men’s voices, too!).
And, in the meantime, subscribe so you get familiar with the Makes You Mom style.

Congratulations. Lovely site. Is sure to be a success!
L. L. Barkat says
At last, a mom site with poetry and writing and books and thinking and high-level content (and not a single “How to” and “You’re Doing it Wrong” post 🙂 )
Kelly Chripczuk says
Ah, but how will we know “how to” and whether we’re “doing it wrong”? 😉 I’m excited to watch the site unfold, especially under Laura’s thoughtful leadership.
Laura Brown says
Thank you, Kelly. 😀
(There might occasionally be, in essence if not name, a “You’re Doing It Right” post.)
Megan Willome says
Yes, there’s too much negativity out there already. Time for flowers.
Laura Brown says
Never a “You’re Doing It Wrong” post.
Laura Brown says
Thank you, Maureen!
Bethany Rohde says
The atmosphere over there is delightful. It’s the kind of room that feeds the thinker *and* the feeler — my favorite.
Laura Brown says
A delightful observation! Thank you.
Elizabeth Marshall says
Beautiful. CONGRATULATIONS to the parents. Know you must be overjoyed.
