Aid Line by Lion Publications in Recovery from Storm Damage

Line by Lion Publications is a small woman owned publishing house in Louisville. It has been single handedly been lifting up creatives who might not otherwise have gotten published, for over 11 years now. It represents authors from 10 countries and it is fast approaching its hundredth publication.

Line by Lion attends many events through the year to promote and sell their books. One of the largest events is the Kentucky Renaissance Festival. And this year was hard for us. While the faire it self, the crowds, and the people all around were amazing, the weather was not so kind.

Our tent was hit hard by several massive storms that bent the frame irreparably and tore the top leaving us with very few options. Often it meant all hands on deck holding the tent down during the storms that hit during the faire day and keeping the fabric top on as best we could to save the all important books. And it also meant lots of after hours clean up and repair as best we could. It was like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound.

The failure of our tent was critical and now it leaves us scrambling for events that are on our immediate horizon. Ohio Renaissance Festival comes to mind among others. That is why we are asking for assistance with this catastrophe. We have a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it in. And our books need the protection of a reliable shelter for all of our future events. As you know I am sure, books and water don’t mix, and shelter for our patrons is always important as well.

The funds raised here will go toward the purchase of a new tent like the cream one pictured as well as a smaller tent that will be used as a green room/storage area and tools to accomplish set up and ensure safe storage. Anything you can contribute is a massive help and deeply appreciated!
