Hi All, It's that time again--the third annual NY Writers Coalition (NYWC) Write-a-Thon, the fabulous daylong writing marathon thatl will benefit NYWC's free creative writing programs. It's been an amazing year at NYWC, keeping me busy starting new workshops for the homeless, the formerly incarcerated, veterans of Vietnam and Iraq, cancer survivors, people struggling with literacy, and others! My rewards are their wonderful voices, coming alive in chapbooks we publish and readings we hold.

Please, please, PLEASE help us 'go the distance' on May 17. Your pledges will help NYWC continue to offer free, unique and powerful creative writing workshops in neighborhoods throughout NYC. No amount is too small! Thanks, Deborah

P.S. Don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! Thanks again.
