Media Reviews

"Christina Katz takes a stay-at-home-mom and turns her into a dragon-slayer with all the tools to make a writing career not just feasible, but downright practical. My copy of this book is wrought with notes, dog-eared pages, and highlighted resources, earning it a place on my reference shelf." —C. Hope Clark, author of The Shy Writer 

"Like taking a writing class at your neighborhood playground--Writer Mama is a must-have resource that speaks to the specific challenges of the writing parent with advice from those with one eye on the monkey bars and another on their manuscript." —Sharon Miller Cindrich, journalist, columnist, and author of E-Parenting: Keeping Up With Your Tech-Savvy Kids
