The Mum Poem Press is a poetry publishing venture focusing on work that explores all aspects of motherhood.

We support and connect parents who write, or would like to try writing poetry through our Mum Poet Club; encouraging mums to write as a way to express, process and share experiences. Everyone is welcome and you don’t need any previous experience to join our free and friendly writing community.

 Join the Mum Poet Club now.

We are proud to publish our groundbreaking and beautiful Mum Poet Club zine and have worked with guest editors including Hollie McNish, Liz Berry and Laura Dockrill to bring readers beautiful, moving and always exceptional poetry that explores motherhood in all its guises.

In May 2021 we published Songs of Love and Strength, our first full length anthology of poetry about motherhood as part of Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week.

We host open mic nights, poetry performances and workshops. The Mum Poet Club will next be performing at the Cheltenham Literature Festival.
