Hi there! Thanks for coming to our fundraising page for National Novel Writing Month. This fall, Michelle L Devon and the Accentuate Writers have signed up will join over 100,000 authors in the challenge of writing a book, from scratch, during the month of November.

It's going to be a busy month! While we write our novels, Accentuate Writers will be raising money for the nonprofit Office of Letters and Light, whose free programs such as National Novel Writing Month have helped spark a lifelong love of writing in kids, teens, and adults around the world, as well as fostering the love or reading, helping to donate books and libraries in places where those things don't exist, and helping with literacy issues world-wide.

A donation of just $10 helps keep the NaNo servers for the kids and the adult competitions running for a full three hours!

A donation of just $25 is used to sponsor a classroom of about 33 kids to send a goodie package to classrooms of children participating in the NaNo Youth Challenge!

We've set our target for $500 for the challenge, and according to the NaNo Website, "A $500 donation makes some serious dents in our largest expenses. For example, $500 covers rent on our office for almost an entire month, or underwrites more than half the cost of our AlphaSmart lending library (meaning you've put laptop-like word processors in the eager hands of young novelists who lack access to computers at school)."

Of course, we sure won't complain if we have to exceed our goal and reset it!

Won't you do your part to help us foster writing and writers?

Thank you so much for your support of writing and the love of reading and the Office of Letters and Light's literary mission! If you can think of anyone else who might be interested in sponsoring our Accentuate Writers team, please forward this page along to them.

 PS: You should think about writing a novel in November too! Find out more at www.NaNoWriMo.org http://www.NaNoWriMo.org Also note, the amount you donate will not be displayed - only that you did donate, so how much isn't as important as giving. There is power in numbers!
