Join Emma and Beth to create your own alternative Mother’s Day card - to yourself, your mother or to someone else. Using free writing and gentle prompts, we’ll explore who you want to address, what you want to say, and how you might express your feelings. Bring a notebook and a blank piece of A4 paper or card!

Beth works as Editorial Advisor and writing mentor for a European digital cultural heritage project. She has a PhD in Creative Writing, runs writing workshops and has published a novel called ‘Blood and Water’, as well as contributions to various anthologies and journals.

Emma is also a Contributor at The Motherless Mothers.

As mothers, we are often hard-pushed for time to spend on ourselves. This one-hour workshop offers you a chance to take some time out for you, to write freely, explore your creativity and help develop your self-expression in a safe and relaxed online session.

Fellow motherless mother, Beth Daley, will provide writing exercises and gentle prompts, using poetry and prose and our shared experience as motherless mothers, to which you can respond as you choose. No writing experience is necessary. There is no obligation to share.
