Help me make a difference with my writing!

Join me in helping to make a difference with my writing...

Indie presses play an important role in publishing and sharing stories that are not always told by larger publishing companies. Join me in supporting the work of Tupelo Press as I take on the challenge or writing 30 poems, one for each day, in the month of December.

This challenge is about showing how writing can make a difference, and as I head into my final semester of graduate school, setting myself up for success in honing my creative and artistic discipline.

My goal is to fundraise $500 to support this work.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Tupelo Press
