Christa Mastrangelo replied to the discussion 'Writers' Conferences for Mothers with Small Children' in the group Mother Writer!
"I am completely on board for this if it should happen or if it is ever found. It's tough enough for one of us to get away--nearly impossible for both my husband and I to go. And since I'm the main childcare person in the house, I'd…"

Christa Mastrangelo commented on the group 'Poets on She Writes'

Hi Christa! I won't be at AWP because I'm going on maternity leave beginning November 1! I'll be back in the MFA office around the beginning of March. Hope you're well!

Hi Christa, Welcome to the Southern Writers Group. Zetta Brown and I are co-moderators. We're almost at the end of a huge project--an anthology of writing to benefit Gulf Coast volunteer groups who are helping to alleviate some of the suffering--human and otherwise from the Oil Spill. After that we have plans to do a blog tour of our group. Please feel free to start a discussion and introduce yourself in Zetta's roll call . Welcome! Nicky

Christa, Just opened the door to the novelist group for you - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. I’ll look forward to chatting with you!
