Magazine By & For Childless Women

---

Tutum Journal is a quarterly digital magazine by and for childless women. Useful as a resource to live through and beyond involuntary childlessness. Our first issue was published on March 18, 2021, and we accept submissions year-round.

Tutum Journal is your guide to navigating life through a collection of narrative essays, interviews, and expert advice that will inspire and nurture your path to to mental wellness and healing. We have a penchant for heartfelt words, and deep-soul care. We believe that stories exist in a specific moment, and that that moment is what makes those stories unique. There’s so much noise out there, bombarding us constantly with an endless stream of information and it becomes harder and harder to hear ourselves think. This is a quiet place for you to sit, read, remember, and reflect.

We believe that words shape us as individuals. Words stay with us as we go through life, and the words we kept sacred yesterday may be different than the words we need today. Whatever you may be experiencing right at this time in your life, there are the right words for it. The right words comfort us in need. They breathe life into our beings. They show us how we feel. And we are here to give them to you.

ATTN: Diverse childless female voices and subject matter experts!

We want to hear from women who are childless/childfree not by choice or by circumstance across continents. Our Winter theme, 'joy' is all about opening to the possibility of light-heartedness and delight, even if only for a moment or two, or perhaps a lifetime. Joy is different for everyone. For this issue we will focus on childless women's joy because the world rarely allows us to hold space. Because of this, for many, the very thought of feeling anything like joy might seem near impossible, but we invite you to share how you've found ways to bask in joy, savor a moment ordinarily taken for granted, and how your personal experience or expert advice can help others to recognize that it’s both okay and even helpful to feel joy.
