I have decided to participate in the Dzanc Books Write-A-Thon, which will take place December 17-20. I plan to write for the entire weekend, only taking breaks to eat and sleep.
Not only will it be a treat for me to have a dedicated time for my writing, but hopefully this will also benefit Dzanc. Dzanc is a wonderful non-profit independent publishing company that supports literary magazines and small presses, and publishes fantastic work. Also, Dzanc funds writing programs in public schools in both Michigan and New York where creative writing classes are not offered. They also sponsor the Dzanc Prize, which benefits not only the writer awarded the prize, but also pays for a community-based project lsuch as writing workshops in prisons or cancer centers.
I would be honored if you would sponsor my writing this year. Your dollars will help Dzanc Books to continue to support great writing and foster the creative talent of public school kids.
