Send Diana to Alaska: writing award

I'm Diana (D.W.) Hirsch, an author, blogger and columnist.  I'm the proud winner of two major writing awards this year.  In the 2015 National Federation of Press Women (NFPW) Communications Contest, my first fiction book,  Jimmy the Burglar, won third place nationally.  My journaling/mini album articles published in Michigan Scrapbooker Magazine won second place.  This year's annual conference and awards banquet is in Anchorage, Alaska.  Airfare from Michigan, lodging, meals...all this costs money.  Any financial assistance helping me make this trip possible is greatly appreciated.  You can learn more about me and the story behind my writing  on my website, Wolf Howlings .
