Heather McClelland's Fundraiser

My poems can make a difference!
Help me meet my goal, please give today.
Heather McClelland writes poems at public and private events with the Chicago-based typewriter collective Poems While You Wait. She earned an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and served two years on the board of the Stories Matter Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the programming of StoryStudio Chicago, Chicago Review of Books, and the Chicago Stories Project. While teaching creative writing and composition at College of Lake County in northern Illinois, she works in her garden; listens to jazz, psych, and electronica vinyl with her partner; and continues writing her novel set in Driftless Area, WI. Heather's work has been nominated for Pushcarts and Best of the Net and appears in Press 53’s journal Prime Number Magazine (2021 runner-up annual award for poetry), Waterwheel Review, and Willow Review, among others.
Your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.
Tupelo Press provides the canvas; I bring my words, accompanied by a cohort of fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 200 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.
Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!
