5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and Motivational: A Must for Mama Writers, 27 April 2009
Writer Mama is Christina Katz's first book and she targets mothers with young children who want to turn writing into an earner. Christina Katz lives in Oregon in the US, also runs writing classes, and does public speaking. A mother herself, Christina is clearly passionate about writing and sharing her knowledge and experience with others to help them grow into published authors.

From the very first page, Writer Mama takes your hand and encourages you to take baby steps, one at a time, to make your way on the writer's journey. Practical tips span the writing spectrum, from how to generate ideas for writing topics, pitch ideas for articles and follow writers' guidelines to how to market yourself as a writer. These tips are interspersed with advice on balancing a writing career with motherhood.
Nothing is run of the mill about this book, from its handbag size format to its conversational writing style and reader friendly side bars and motivating quotes from other `writer mamas'. There are sample letters, links and exercises.

This book is a must-have for any woman whose `mother hat' remains perched precariously on her head whilst she steals time away from her children to attempt to write for a living. It is inspirational and designed for busy mums to read in easily digestible chunks... stolen moments alone in the bathroom, lost time waiting in the car at the end of a school day, or half an hour at toddler's nap times.... an issue Christina also seeks to help you with; managing your time as a writer mama with children underfoot.
