Profiles Editor Joanne Hartman is the editor of Mamas Write: 29 Tales of Truth, Wit, and Grit.

The essays in this collection range from finding one’s calling as a writer through adopting a toddler; a tribute to a dying wife; an account of a premature birth; raising a transgender child; the joys of sharing a favorite childhood book. In a concluding interview, authors share funny and heartfelt responses to questions such as: “How does a busy parent make time for writing?” “Why do you write, and where?” “What writing books inspire you?” and “What holds you back from writing?”

Mamas Write is a product of the California-based writer’s group, Write On Mamas, which boasts 40 members from California, Oregon, Minnesota, Maryland, and Alberta, Canada. They meet monthly—both online and in person—to write, read, revise, and share.
