Pen Parentis

Pen Parentis is a non-profit literary organization founded by M. M. De Voe to help parents finish their professional writing projects.

​

She wrote a book about it - part memoir, part encouraging guide, the book collects the experience of 300+ writers who passed through the Salons and is arranged from infant to grown-and-flown kids of writers and how to find your writing mojo and be productive at each stage of your parenting life.

​

The second Tuesday of each month, M. M. DeVoe hosts the grant-winning Pen Parentis Literary Salons online with award-winning novelist, Christina Chiu. These online events are FREE and open to the public. Interested? See below for the upcoming Literary Salon sign-up link. 

 

DeVoe has run Q&A for more than 100 groups of these notable authors with various co-hosts:  discussing their life-work balance, performing short readings and talking writing craft.

 

Since the pandemic hit, these events have been on Zoom and an archive is available on YouTube.
