Write-O-Rama Laureate
Thu Nov 19 2009 Filed in: Hugo House | Write-o-rama
I'm also once again participating in the Richard Hugo House Write-o-Rama. If you remember, last year I raised money for a good cause and did the rough drawings of what would become Tr0jan. This year, I've been honored by the House as a Write-O-Rama Laureate.
The Richard Hugo House is center for writers and readers that offers classes, youth programs, literary events, original stage productions, writer residencies and scholarships to the disadvantaged. There are only three organizations like it in the United States. It's a place of great love and support for those who love the written word, young and old. If there was no Hugo House, there never would have been a Heidi Hoffman.
In 2009, Hugo House served over 850 youth with creative writing classes and summer camps, and their scholarship fund awarded more than $13,000 to teen writers who would not have been able to attend their programs otherwise. Hugo Writers-in-Residence gave over 350 no-cost writing consultations to the public. And the Zine Archive and Publishing Project (ZAPP), which is the largest collection of handmade and small press periodicals in the nation, reopened in a bigger space upstairs. Those are just a few of the programs a donation will support.
Your gift is tax deductible as allowed by law and there are also donor benefits.
You can support us online by clicking here. Just put PlanetHeidi in the designation field and fill out all the other necessary information.
As things progress, I'll share some tidbits about the Heidi story I'll be writing during Write-o-Rama. Last year, as some may recall, I penned Tr0jan.
