Kate Hopper Teaches the Art of Writing Motherhood Stories in Book

Motherhood inspired the powerful prose of Anne Lamott, Susan Cheever, Ayelet Waldman and Alice Walker, launching them, and many others, to the top of bestseller lists. Award-winning writer Kate Hopper has spent nearly a decade teaching women to write down the bones of motherhood. In Use Your Words: A Writing Guide for Mothers, her expert guidance will encourage women to write the stories they need to write, whether the goal is to blog, publish magazine articles, or pen the next blockbuster memoir. Use Your Words is now available as an audiobook as well.
