So You Want to Write a Book
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Bonnie Newman Davis, a veteran journalist and journalism educator who recently established The BND Institute of Media and Culture (BNDIMC), which will deliver education, outreach and training to diverse audiences. The organization is based in Richmond, Va., where I have lived and worked since 1981.
As a result of my initiative, I am raising funds through Gofundme to establish a 501 C nonprofit arm for BNDIMC. Gaining a 501 C status will enable me to compete for foundation grants and sponsorships that will allow BNDIMC to offer quality programs at minimal costs to underserved communities.
The funds also will be used to offset expenses for an inaugural program, African-American Authors and Writers, on Nov. 12, 2016 in Richmond, Va. During the program, several Virginia-based journalists and authors will provide advice to members of the public who want to tell their stories through the creative process of writing and/or publishing books.
The program also will support The Book Bros., an organization founded by three young African American boys who collect and distribute books to encourage reading among other youngsters.
I am passionate about journalism, writing, teaching and giving back to communities in need. With your help, we can make this effort become a reality. Any amount - $3, $5, $10, $15, $20 or more -- will be greatly appreciated!!
