 Hey everyone -- it's my 40th birthday forthcoming and I am setting up another gofundme for another opportunity around my writing and a third experience I was accepted into this year! I got into the <a href="https://anaphoraarts.com/publishing-program" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Anaphora Arts Publishing Program</a> , which is a 9-month cohort-style program that mimics components of an MFA program. It would be pairing me with a writing mentor and incorporating full days of writing throughout the nine months to work with me on key goals for next year (which will primarily be researching, revising, and refining of the novel, while learning more about the overall publishing process, while I'm also submitting pieces of the novel-told-in-stories out to lit journals to star stirring interest of agents).

 As this is, as mentioned, the third opportunity that I got to connect with this year, I am hoping to tap into support from my greater community. <a href="https://www.alongandwanzyroad.com/post/40th-bday-support-ask-the-anaphora-arts-publishing-program" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">You can learn more on my latest blog post</a> -- including, if you already donated to the last opportunity and want alternative ways to support, you can always share this fundraiser, subscribe to <a href="https://jawanzabariallumumba.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">my Substack</a> (free or paid), or exploring some of the services that are launching with my LLC!
