- Learn pro-level fundraising tips to help you meet your goals.
- Set your pledges and writing goals to inspire your supporters.
- Set Your Goals (July 6–12): fundraising rewards announced, leaderboards cheered, and final fundraising push this week. Last-minute registrations assisted with final fundraising efforts. Finalize and prepare to meet your writing goals!
- Focused Writing Time from July 12-26: the fundraising is done, time to meet your summer writing goals! During the two weeks of Write-a-thon, you’ll receive:
- Daily writing prompts.
- Find writing sprints and a writing community in Discord & in person (in Seattle).
- Join in some amazing Q&A sessions with Clarion West Instructors (for all sessions unlocked during fundraising)!
The Write-a-thon is more than a chance to focus on your writing—it’s a way to give back to the writing community. When you donate or raise money for Clarion West, you support:
- Finding a permanent home for our six-week, in-person workshop.
- Low-cost access to classes for writers of all levels.
- Scholarships for emerging writers who wouldn’t otherwise have access.
- Year-round community programming to connect and inspire writers around the globe.
Get ready to dive into your writing and make meaningful connections while helping us reach our ambitious goals.
Together we’ll write, fundraise, and unlock an incredible Write-a-thon experience!
