Nonprofit helping writer-parents. Weekly Accountability, Monthly Literary Salons, Annual Fellowship | Join our community #parentingdonewrite #readatPenParentis Pen Parentis is a nonprofit that helps writers stay on creative track after having kids. The objective of Pen Parentis is to help writers stay on creative track after they start a family. In accordance with our core values of COMMUNITY, PROFESSIONALISM, INCLUSION, and BALANCE, we encourage the production of creative written work of professional standard by authors who are also parents, foster supportive communities of authors who are also parents both in NYC and globally, and provide educational, creative, and professional support through outreach activities to authors who are also parents. We also award an annual Writing Fellowship for New Parents, to encourage the creation of new work by writers at a critical stage of their career trajectory. Our public Literary Salons are listed in the New York Times and The New Yorker. Our Cycle of Support is a proven success.
