If you are you are a writer, a creator, or simply enjoy the work, this is for you!
I haven't written in a while and honestly, that seems weird in my world. Instead of posting on social media and finding funny puns, I have been editing, brainstorming, and trying to figure out all of the hoops of marketing. Needless to say, it has been exciting! I've been reading phenomenal work from my students and authors outside of school, and am writing new work as well.
With this in mind, I would like to take a moment to celebrate what we've done, who we are, and where we are going. I began this publishing company because stories are important. They are the words of our time. This is why supporting the creative process is paramount!
To gain attraction and celebrate the work of my writers, I want to hold a Mocktail Storytime, Book Launch, & Silent Auction event on December 9th. The goal of this event is to celebrate the newest round of books to be launched this December and highlight our local talent. I'll be blunt - we are still looking for donations for the silent auction and funds to host the event. If you can donate or have connections to a business that is willing to donate, please let me know! Ideas could include gift baskets: a movie lovers' gift basket (movie tickets, popcorn, and candy), a spa day gift basket (lotions, soaps, and bubble bath), or gift cards. If that isn't your cup of tea, supporters can help in another way - SPREAD THE WORD!
The GoFundMe request (link posted below) is to help pay for venue expenses, company 'swag', and advertising expenses. (My staff and I work for free.) All proceeds of this event go toward our scholarship and writing fellowships. Please donate and join my journey in fostering creativity and a new generation of writers in the world!
