2024 SOCALRW LITERACY EVENT AND 42ND BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Written By Beth Hudson

It’s time once again to celebrate our love of reading and encourage others to become lifelong readers too!

Southern California Romance Writers invites you to participate in this year's Literacy Event, on Saturday, February 10, 2024 featuring:

Gwyn McNamee
How to Manage Author Life, Write Banging Blurbs and Titles to Get Readers to One-Click

Join Southern California Romance Writers as we Celebrate 42 years of Romance Writing Excellence, learn how to Manage Author Life, and support literacy efforts in our community.

Here is how it works:
We ask for baskets that will generate interest for our opportunity drawing. In the past, we've had some wonderful items that have generated interest:

Do you have expertise you'd like to share?
Donate a certificate for an hour of your time to benefit a fellow writer.

Have some fantastic books others will love?
Bundle them with a secret goodie.

Yearning for some relaxation time?
Donate a themed basket, a spa night or delicious coffee/tea and a mug that makes you smile, or any fun creative ideas that you can conjure.

On the 10th, all attendees will be able to drop their tickets in a bucket dedicated to the specific item or items they hope to win. The more tickets you buy, the greater the chances of winning. The more tickets you buy, the more we fundraise. A portion of the proceeds of the event will be donated to a charity in San Diego that supports literacy.

Where else do you get to be philanthropic and learn how to write Banging Blurbs?
We would love to have a variety of items for the drawing. We welcome expertise, books, themed baskets, and all donations that will garner interest and entice everyone to buy more tickets.

If you're providing a donation, please let us know what you'll bring so we can draft a description of the item for the event. Please send an email to President@SoCalRW.com for a basket/donation signup link.

Help make SoCalRW 2024 Literacy Event a success.

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions.
