But first, a message from Erin Coughlin Hollowell, Storyknife’s executive director:
I wanted to briefly talk about fundraising. Storyknife is 54% toward meeting its 2024 fundraising goal. Donating money to an organization like Storyknife isn’t about instant gratification. It’s not like going to a performance the night after you donated to a ballet troupe. Instead, in six months or a year, you get to hold Jodi Savage’s The Death of a Jaybird: Essays on Mothers and Daughters and the Things They Leave Behind or Renata Golden’s Mountain Time: A Field Guide to Astonishment or Sara Daniel Rivera’s The Blue Mimes and sink into the artistry of their words on the page.
When you donate to Storyknife, you change the narrative. You support the vision of an incredibly diverse group of women writers. You support relationships between women writers that build each other up. You put a payment forward toward a future when the women of Storyknife change the way you see the world, offer you stories you couldn’t have imagined, give you hope for healing and for building.
This may be a challenging year for tiny nonprofits like Storyknife to get your attention. It might seem more expedient to give to large organizations who can afford glossy mailers and advertisements on social media. I hoping that you’ll remember that a residency at Storyknife transforms lives. That you can be the person who makes that possible for a woman writer, who makes it possible for her to believe her words are important.
