We are trying to raise $30,000 to run the festival!^

Your support will help the festival:

- Spread the word about this event

- Cover travel expenses for panelists and volunteers

- Account for venue/location costs

- Cover domain and website administrative costs

- Cover the cost of supplies

- Any overflow funding will go toward future festivals, prizes/swag for attendees, and extra programming such as sending authors out for school visits and providing books to schools and students!

*We're partnering with Our Voice Alliance to make your charitable contribution tax deductible!*

^Why are we trying to raise so much?

One of the things we've seen and learned is that lack of invitation is not the only barrier to diverse authors attending festivals. Another factor is lack of resources, accessibility, and funds. While authors love being at festivals, often times, they're asked to pay for some (if not all) of their own expenses. So, when you think about it, authors are often asked to pay to work! Therefore, one of our biggest goals is to fundraise enough to help cover the travel and expenses for all attending creators!
