Help us reach our spring fundraising goal

Our fifth annual Read-and-Write-a-thon was an inspiring success! Non-stop poetry, prose, drama, and fiction shared the stage for 10 consecutive hours as an ever-changing cast of writing coaches and students read and listened to the stories and ideas that give life and light to our community.

Donate now >

The main event is over, but our fundraising page is still accepting donations. Help WriterCoach Connection continue to survive and thrive in these unpredictable economic times! A donation of just $10 or $20 can work wonders (and a larger donation can work even more wonders).
