Motherwell

Jacob Jans, July 18th, 2025

They publish work on parenting-related themes. They’re accepting submissions on these themes (see ‘Current call for submissions’):
“What keeps us up at night as parents? Topics might include: raising kids in a digital world as well as a comparative culture; parenting from a place of calm rather than self-doubt and anxiety; keeping our kids safe; adjusting expectations as our children experience life’s hardships and challenges.
What it means to navigate our identities and life changes as kids get older. Topics might include: how divorce or the shifting of relationships affects us; reclaiming purpose/redefining ourselves as women; balancing the role of caring for older kids and older parents; adapting to dynamics as our families regenerate, evolve and grow.
All formats welcome; suggested word count up to 1,200. Completed essays only and please include word count.” They’re open for other themes / formats too, including personal essays on parenting, on holidays as a parent, and more. Please note, they do not pay for certain formats (see guidelines). Details here.
