Subscription Drive
Like PBS or NPR, without the umbrellas or totes.
Friends! I'm doing a subscription drive, a la PBS or NPR, but without the totes or umbrellas, because let's be honest, we don't need more stuff. Only more stories and more art. All subscriptions through the end of the year will go to my residency fund.
I’ve been awarded a partially-funded writing residency at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (February 9 - March 9, 2026). HOORAY!
I was at VCCA for two-ish weeks in April 2024, and I'm very excited to return. I love writing Divinity School, but I really must finish my novel, in order to truly emerge, break out, fly! Residencies like this one – chunks of uninterrupted time, surrounded by nature, with regular meals provided – are massively helpful for long-form writing.
The total cost of the residency is $6750, and I've been awarded $5250 in grants and aid by VCCA – thank you, donors! I need to raise the last $1500 by December 15, 2025. [Update: As of November 24th, I have raised $550 of the $1500. Thank you!]
Enjoying feels like the wrong word here, so let's say instead, if my letters do something for you – please consider subscribing.
The regular rate is $50/year and there's a superstar option, too, $250/year. Paid subscribers will receive an extra perk, a list of my favorite books in 2025!
P. S. I know that times are tough for many of us, not just the artists, and that's why the letters are always free to read at first, they only go into the paid archive after 6 weeks. If you cannot afford a paid subscription, please share my project with a friend or two. And if you'd like to dip into the archive, write me, I'm happy to comp you for a year.
THANK YOU!!!
