Pen Parentis - resources for Writers Who Have Kids

Pen Parentis is a literary nonprofit supporting the creative writing careers of parents--
No one should have to give up writing just because they have kids.

Livestreams on the second Tuesday of each month Sept-May
Our Literary Salons include short readings and intimate Q&A about life-work balance and the craft of writing. 

Founded in Manhattan in 2009, they are currently co-hosted online by NYC authors,  founder & ED of Pen Parentis, M. M. De Voe (BOOK & BABY, 2021; A FLASH OF DARKNESS, 2023; THE BOY WHO LOVED TREES, 2026 ) & founder/CEO of BookBizHUB Marina Aris (RUNNING IN THE NIGHT, 2024) 

Our Cycle of Support includes Weekly Accountability Meetups - Monthly Literary Salons  - Annual Fellowship Award
