Houston Writers, our local writing center is at risk of closure. Please consider donating if you have ever taken a class or attended an open mic or visited Writefest. www.writespacehouston.org/donation-for...

I am writing today to ask for your help. Writespace is in dire need of funding and is at risk of closing without your help.

Itā€™s no secret that COVID devastated the literary arts community by shutting down in person events for an extended period of time. We have steadily recovered from almost three years of being "online only" and with limited programming but are finding that it has also changed the landscape of continuing education and literary programming. These changes have continually caused cancellations and low attendance at workshops creating a deficit in program funding.

Writespaceā€™s financial situation has reached a critical level, and we need your help to continue. Please consider donating now so Writespace can continue with plans for new and innovative programming in 2025. If you
have ever taken a Writespace workshop, attended an open mic, or our free Art in the AM programming, you know how valuable Writespaceā€™s programming is to the Houston writing community.

Your donation of just $10 can help us get through the next few months so we can bring you the exciting programming that we are planning for 2025.

Please consider donating today. If you are not able to donate, please share this message and the link below. Thank you for your support for the past ten years. We hope to continue serving you for ten more.

Itā€™s been 4 years of having to take Xolair for hives, Iā€™m signed up for my next booster in September. Iā€™m allergic but I still care about keeping myself, my family, and others safe āœŒļø

I have to share this amazing book of poems by Kate Boyes. Kate was in my poetry workshop and I maybe kind of pushed her into writing this book because it is so perfect for right here and now. Enjoy this fabulous cover.

BTW, a one-line poem is called a ā€œmonostitchā€. Most two-line poems are called couplets. They are both well-known and recognizable forms with just as much validity as say, a haiku, traditionally three lines. šŸ„°

I love to see poetry supported in this way. Thanks for publishing this genre.
