Writing Mamas

Welcome to The Writing Mamas Salon©. We're a group of mothers who hail from around the country, but who now reside in the Bay Area of California.

We gather at Book Passage in Corte Madera on the second Sunday of each month.

The salon is a warm, encouraging and supportive place for members to talk about motherhood and writinghood and to have a neighborhood in which to do both. And, like the best of neighbors and the best of friends, there is much laughter and a real sense of community.

We'd love for you to join us.

Check out our Daily Blog where a different member writes about mothering everyday.

Sign up on the Book Passage website. Or call 415.927.0960. If you have specific questions about The Writing Mamas Salon, contact Dawn Yun at dawnyun@writingmamas.com or call 415.233.2483.

The latest “Mama Monologues” – where salon members appear on stage before a live audience and perform their hysterical, touching and real life blogs and essays about motherhood – raised $876 for authors Stephen and Ondrea Levine, who are experiencing health issues. Our special guest Writing Mama was author Sylvia Boorstein (“Happiness is an Inside Job”). Past honorary guest Writing Mamas have included Jacquelyn Mitchard (“Deep End of the Ocean” – an Oprah Book Club Selection) and Joyce Maynard (“At Home in the World”).

When you join The Writing Mamas Salon, you learn to improve your writing, have a nurturing place to review your work, receive publishing encouragement and leads, and have the opportunity to perform your writing in public. Members will become some of your best friends. The Writing Mamas Salon really is the ultimate mothers’ club.
