So what’s an edgy mom? Moms (and one dad) who write fiction and non-fiction about motherhood with smarts, humor, creativity, and a healthy degree of love, awe, skepticism., sarcasm,, irony, and grumpiness.

Don’t miss this stellar group of fiction writers, journalists, poets, and bloggers:

Susan Gregory Thomas (author of “Buy, Buy Baby: How Consumer Culture Manipulates Mothers and Harms Children”), Amy Sohn (“My Old Man” and NY Magazine columnist), Louise Crawford (AKA Smartmom), Sophia Romero (“Always Hiding” and Mom After-Hours Blog), Tom Rayfiel (“Parallel Play”), Mary Warren (AKA Mrs. Cleavage’s Diary Blog) Jennifer Block (“Pushed”), Judy Lichtblau, Alison Lowenstein (“City Baby Brooklyn” and “Mommy Group”), Michele Somerville Madigan (Wisegal).

Five bucks gets you in. Free cocktails. Great fun.
