Seven Days Left to Double Your Gift!
Do something great for writers
It's here, the final week for the Clarion West Write-a-thon! To date, I've rewritten 30 chapters for a total of 75,500 words for my epic science fiction/fantasy novel Blackfire. And every one of you has been with me with every word.
So here's the Good News; all 24 chapters I posted are available for free through my Write-a-thon Page. The Bad News; everything goes away on August 1st. But if you're busy and can't read all these chapters in the next week, don't worry, there's something you can do. If you donate, I'll send you the collected chapters in a single PDF to read at your leisure.
A Refresher on the Individual Donation Benefits:
$50+ PDF of the posted chapters.
$100+ Above w/ character sketches.
$500+ Above w/ main-character sketch of your choice.
$1000+ Above w/ ENTIRE BOOK w/ full-color illustration on the cover.
$2500+ Above w/ hi-res galaxy map & your name in the book's Thank You section.
And as luck would have it, a generous Clarion West donor has stepped forward with a $5,000 matching grant — so every gift from now through July 31st will be doubled!
Here's What Your Donation Provides to Clarion West:
$55 pays for one student for an online class.
$300 pays for one instructor for an online class.
$750 pays for a full one-day workshop online.
$1,500 pays for a free panel or author event.
$4,200 pays for one student to attend the six-week workshop!
While the chapter postings are over, look out for character sketches on my Write-a-thon Page, website, Instagram, and Twitter.
Next week will be my last Write-a-thon newsletter, and it will center primarily on where I go next with Blackfire.
