get born magazine is a quarterly literary magazine by mothers, for mothers featuring smart, witty, sometimes irreverent, often sarcastic, always authentic writing for mothers.
We celebrate the whole messy process of motherhood by giving real women in the real trenches of motherhood a chance to speak, to write, to make their voices heard.
get born provides a non-judgmental forum for expression free from fear or pretense because we believe sharing our stories in this sort of environment is the best soil in which to grow as mothers and women.
The vision for get born was conceived by founders, Heather Janssen, a writer and English teacher and mother of four, and Katie Cassis, an actor, writer and English teacher and mother of two. Our desire is to provide fertile soil for women to share their stories. Our writers and readers are women are not afraid of either telling or hearing the truth, and respect other women’s right to hear and tell the same.
Our Readers
Our audience is comprised of mothers for whom honesty is imperative, who think deeply, who are generally really funny and laugh at themselves, and who seek to develop themselves as women in every facet: emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and, of course, in their mothering.
