November 15th: Dzanc Write-a-thon
By Anne Stameshkin
Hey, fiction writers! What are you doing on Saturday, November 15th?
If you spend the day writing, you can help raise money for Dzanc, a unique non-profit independent press established (in their own words) “to not only publish great books, but to work nationally in set communities to provide writing workshops and year round programs for students and adults alike.”
Read more about the Dzanc Writer in Residency Programs (DWIRPS) and The Dzanc Prize, two of many ways this press connects writing and publishing with community service and educational outreach.
Want to read more about the event itself? Go here.
Interested in participating? Send an email to info@dzancbooks.org and receive a donation sheet for sponsors. No amount of $$ is too small — even $10 helps — and devoting a full day to your writing is priceless.
Maybe there’s a way to coordinate with the local NaNoWriMo coordinator to get a huge turnout?
That’s a great idea…I wonder if that connection has already been pursued? I’ll see if there are mentions of it in the message boards.
