Help Penina get to AWP for "Lit Your City" Panel!

Donation protected
Our friend and ultimate literary citizen, Penina Roth, is on a panel at AWP this year... and needs help getting there!


Help us raise funds for her trip! We’re aiming to cover the costs of travel, lodging, and registration itself (which, as we all know, isn’t cheap).

Between running Brooklyn’s Franklin Park Reading Series for 10 years, her work as a publicist and editor, and her dedication to promoting and sharing work by both established and up-and-coming authors (including, *ahem,* yours trulies), Penina has done so much for the literary community over the years! We’re trying to help her in any way we can. She continues to help all of us. It's the least we can do. We know most writers don’t have much—and AWP depletes us all—but any little bit helps.


Also, if you have (or know of) a place that Penina can crash overnight, let us know!


You can find more info on Penina’s panel, “Lit Your City: How to Build Strong Writing Communities & Run Reading Series,” here: https://www.awpwriter.org/awp_conference/event_detail/14738.
