Clarion West Write-a-thon 2008

Be part of Clarion West this summer without attending the workshop.

This is our fifth annual Write-a-thon, and we have over 50 participants signed up. Here's how it's going.

Sponsor a Write-a-thon participant.

To sponsor a writer, pick one from the list below. Pledge to support them in meeting their goals. Donate what suits your budget -- $1/week, $5/week, $20/week – or just a flat amount for the six weeks. You can either use our PayPal links or you can send checks to our office at: Clarion West, 340 Fifteenth Avenue East, Suite 350, Seattle, WA 98112.

To sponsor several writers, use this PayPal link:

Then send an email to Writeathon@clarionwest.org to let us know how we should divide the donation.

All donations are tax deductible; Clarion West is a non-profit educational organization under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal EIN 91-1352168). After you send us your pledge, you will receive a thank-you letter acknowledging your gift. You can use this letter as a receipt for tax purposes.

Write, write, write!

Write-a-thon participants, this is your shining hour. From June 22nd through August 1st, shadow the Clarion West Workshop and write, write, write! Write 15 minutes or 4 hours a day, 250 words a day, or maybe 8000 words a week (we call that a "Swanwick"); revise a story or a chapter of your novel every week; complete a story, a novella, or a trilogy; submit three short stories to professional markets. Or do something else completely different.

Remember to keep asking for support and pledges from friends and family. Use the signup sheet below, or send them online to your personal PayPal link on the Write-a-thon web page we've set up for you.
