We’ve sent out another check today.
Earlier, Significant Objects chose Girls Write Now to receive all proceeds from one of our “volumes” of stories and auctions. We were thrilled to donate over $1,700 to this worthy organization. But today’s check is going out on behalf of twenty-four contributors to the Significant Objects book who requested that we donate their honorarium to Girls Write. So, public thanks to:
Rob Agredo
Rob Baedeker
Rosecrans Baldwin
Susannah Breslin
Kathryn Davis
Meg Cabot
Tim Carvell
Dan Chaon
Mark Frauenfelder
Amy Fusselman
William Gibson
Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer
Neil LaBute
Laura Lippman
Stephen O’Connor
Todd Pruzan
Dan Reines
Greg Rowland
Matthew Sharpe
Marisa Silver
Deb Olin Unferth
Margaret Wertheim
Matthew J. Wells

PS: As mentioned yesterday, another batch of writers directed their fees to 826 National.
Our thanks to all for being so generous!
