Keep Finn Burnett in Grad School!

Donation protected

Our beloved friend, esteemed teacher, mentor, author, gardener and all around amazing person, Finn Burnett, needs our help!


Finn has reached the borrowing ceiling for their graduate program and still has 4 semesters left to get their Doctor of Arts in English from Murray State University. Finn's wife Joy can cover their living expenses, but tuition is out of their reach.


That's where all of us come in because we're gonna keep our fabulous friend in grad school!


Finn has been mentoring, teaching, and running the Golden Crown Literary Society's esteemed Writing Academy since 2015. The Writing Academy is the place where Finn has nourished the talents of amazing women, non-binary and trans up-and-coming writers, many of whom have published award-winning books! Even with all of these responsibilities, Finn is currently mentoring two people on a volunteer basis.


Finn cares deeply about the community of writers of Sapphic, women-loving-women and queer fiction and has donated much of their time (and some money) to help LGBTQ emerging writers.


Unfortunately, now that Finn has relocated to Canada, they've lost all of their online teaching jobs with colleges in the US because US schools do not want to pay Canadian business taxes.


So....we need to rally around Finn who's always been there for us and our community. Give what you can and I'm sure that if enough of us come forward, we'll get to our goal of $7200 very soon.


The world needs Dr. Finnian Burnett and so do we!
