We’d also like to thank all of those who supported the work of Vocamus Writers Community in any way in 2019. Your sponsorship helped us hold our annual Book Bash Festival, featuring more than thirty local books; offer our Free February Workshops; run our Fall Retreat; organize monthly writing groups; offer free manuscript consultations; promote dozens of book launches and readings; and feature more than twenty local poets in our Rhapsody 2019 anthology. We also welcomed fifteen new members into our community. We couldn’t have done any of that without your help.
We've got great things planned for next year too. If you’d like to support Vocamus Writers Community as we build Wellington County book culture (and get your hands of on next years reward package while you’re at it), you can check out our Fundrazr page – https://fundrazr.com/b1QuY8?ref=ab_f7kb27.
