Dear Friends of Write Action,
For over two decades, Write Action has strived to fulfill its mission of “Strengthening a community of writers in the Brattleboro area, and to encourage, nurture, and promote the literary arts in the greater Brattleboro community.” With your help, your participation, and support, we have largely succeeded. Thank you!
But we find ourselves at a crossroads financially, and in terms of what we can offer. Over the last two years, the Write Action board has lost several members, and we have not sent out a fundraising letter or email for quite some time.
For this reason, the Write Action board established an ad hoc committee of interested individuals to examine ways to strengthen and stabilize Write Action for the future. This committee endorsed the idea of adding a dues-paying membership level, and together with the board, settled on dues of $20 for the current year and $10 per year thereafter.
The newsletter will continue to be free for all subscribers.
Dues-paying members will receive benefits such as:
- Ability to announce and promote your work in the newsletter
- Ability to vote on major decisions put forward by the board
- Option of becoming a Write Action board member
- Opportunities to sell your book(s) at Write Action tabling events
- Discounted or free admission to Write Action entry-charged events or workshops
These benefits will be in addition to knowing that you are supporting a beloved and important organization and contributing to Brattleboro’s literary life.
Some examples of what Write Action does: the monthly newsletter, the Poems Around Town project, anthologies of local writing (the latest of which, “Through the Windows of Brattleboro,” will be available shortly), BUHS senior writing awards, and collaborating with other arts organizations on projects such as our Spotlight reading at the Brattleboro Literary Festival.
