Welcome to The Story of Me and You: A Creative Writing Course for Mums!

I’m Sarah and on this course I’ll support you to build a keepsake collection of writing about your personal experience of motherhood. The Story of Me and You does what it says on the tin- by the end of the six modules you’ll have at least 12 pieces of writing to tell the story of your motherhood journey; the story of you and your child. 

I will help to ignite your imagination and guide you through the creation of your collection, to build a book of memories to save for your child when they grow up, or perhaps even for when they become a parent themselves. A future family heirloom!

Don’t worry if you haven’t written since school, or if you’ve lost your creative spark in the haze of motherhood. As an experienced teacher and writing specialist, I’ll help you to develop your collection to preserve your thoughts and emotions at this wonderful, turbulent, exhausting time!

Description

This online course will guide you through the creation of a keepsake collection of writing, inspired by your experience of motherhood. 

You can start the course whenever you’re ready and work at your own pace. The tasks and guidance will all be available to you as soon as you sign up and you don’t need to sign in at a particular time. So you’ll be able to work on your writing at a pace and time that works for you and your child (day or night!), with no need to commit to attending a class, or indeed to getting out of your pyjamas. 

Each module will consist of a shorter task to ignite your imagination and a longer task to get you writing in more depth, resulting in a collection of at least 12 pieces of creative writing. We’ll experiment with poetry, stories, memoirs and more, to develop a varied, personal and honest anthology.

Who am I?

I’m Sarah Parrott, owner of Write Sparks and an experienced teacher and writing specialist. I live in South London with my husband and our wonderful, exhausting 3-year-old son. Throughout our IVF adventure, a difficult pregnancy and raising a child with complex medical needs, I’ve found writing to be a powerful tool to process my emotions, to document our journey and to give me the creative outlet I need. I’m excited about helping other women to access the joy and catharsis that writing can bring to their own experiences of motherhood.
