Hey there! My name is Malorie, your resident Floridian-mama-writer, and I'm fundraising for my second in-person writing experience--the first in my beloved Florida! The first full week of 2025, I will be in Key West as a fellow in the Key West Literary Seminar Writers’ Workshop Program, studying under Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, working with the art of the short story.

I have spoken before about the struggle of this creative life. It's insular, it's slow, often not prolific, and can be very expensive--from application fees while applying to having to front travel/lodging/fellowship costs once you net an opportunity.

That's where you come in--thankfully, my week of workshop is covered, but I am fundraising until December 1st for the cost of travel and lodging. I wish I could pay it on my own, but I know that's not a reality. Please spread the word! Any donation will help immensely.
