Dear Good People,

On November 17th, I'm going to be attending NaNoWriMo's "Night of Writing Dangerously" Write-a-thon. As you know, this is like the Olympics for high-speed writers. People from all over the country are getting sponsored by family and friends, and flying in for the event, with the goal of writing as many words as they can in six hours.

All the proceeds from the evening go to the nonprofit Young Writers Program and main adult program. Combined, both programs will help 100,000 budding authors to find their voices this November.

I am reaching out to you today to see if you might be willing to support me in my quest for Write-a-thon fundraising victory by becoming one of my sponsors for the Write-a-thon. Your contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to me, and would do a world of good for the kids, teens, and adults whose lives are changed by National Novel Writing Month and the Young Writers Program every year.

Also, I know where you live. Each and every one of you. 

Thank you for supporting my writing!

Chris
