Testimonials
Motherwell has long been one of my favorite sources of parenting expertise and stories because they have been involved—both professionally and personally—in parenting journalism for so long. Their list of resources will likely be a trusted source I will refer people back to again and again. —Jessica Lahey, author of The Gift of Failure and The Addiction Innoculation
As a writer, it’s hard to overestimate the vital importance of this site, where the editors cherish the weird and funny and aching and inconsistent, i.e. all the true stories about being a parent. When I have an idea about a piece, usually I think: “That’s too crazy.” Then I think: “Motherwell will understand.” But also the way they promote books! Books by mothers, books about parenting, books that stretch and soar and also ground everybody in what’s real. I’ve been so lucky to have my books featured here, and featured here so lovingly. —Catherine Newman, author of Catastrophic Happiness and How to Be a Person
