Mother's Milk Books

Search WriteWords Directory

'Mother’s Milk Books is run solely by at-home mother and founder Dr Teika Bellamy (although husband Tom helps in spare moments – he’s an especially good proofreader!). Mother’s Milk Books receives no grant funding and the press survives purely through sales of books, cards and prints. The press was set up in 2011 and our first title Musings on Mothering, edited by Teika Bellamy, was published in September 2012. This charity anthology of art, poetry and prose about pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding continues to raise funds for La Leche League GB, a breastfeeding support charity. Musings on Mothering was met with critical acclaim and sold over 300 copies in the first two weeks after publication – quite a feat for a small press publishing a book on a supposedly ‘niche’ topic!'
