Writer and mother Kate Hopper knows what it means to have important stories to tell.

Whether you are a new mom or a veteran, whether you gave birth to or adopted your child, in this single-session class you’ll learn how to take birth and motherhood stories and turn them into art.

StoryStudio is thrilled to host guest instructor Kate Hopper, author of Use Your Words: A Writing Guide for Mothers, who will be at StoryStudio to share insights and strategies on how to find your stories, how to begin putting them down on paper, and how to manage the intense personal nature of these stories. Class time will be divided between lecture, class discussion, writing, and optional sharing of writing.

Kate will also have information to share on publishing your work and the growing genre of motherhood and words.

Kate will be teaching two classes, one at the Chicago location on Thursday afternoon, and one at the North Shore location on Friday morning.

StoryStudio classes are typically limited to 15 participants or fewer. This intimate setting allows for greater interaction and personal attention.

When reading my story above you probably are wondering why I didn't use customary paragraphs inRead More composing this article. The fact is I did! However, those AOL/Patch software designers who recently put this new format together didn't allow for paragraphs, boldfacing and some other essential typographical aids that make stories more readable. I have no idea why. Hopefully this oversight will soon be corrected. Ed Collins, Contributor

Ed, I completely agree with your format comment - eliminating paragraphs and other aids makesRead More articles much less readable. Jacob, why the change? It isn't like you have to spend more money on printing pages. Please address.
