How soon you need the funds?
All the organization, volunteering and donation of texts and art spaces has worked out through determination and passion, but the costs of producing the material now threaten this wonderful and creative program.
They need our help right now!

 What the support will mean to me?
*By supporting this event, we're  promoting and fosting the Venezuelan literarture  cultural heritage,
* Alow us to fell  that we're making part of this  effort to preserve a very important part of the  Venezuelan identity.
*The tipe of crime fiction narrative written and created by Venezuelan will always show that submerged social reality that literature restore and preserve, as an historical documentary .
*By bringing a Marcos to the cultural and literary gathering with our fellow Venezuelan community  is as important as  necessary for the large community of countrimen that are  making a living and developing roots in Florida.

Please join me and let's be part of Semana Negra Ccs
