What’s the WHY for supporting the Lexington Writer’s Room?
When you donate to the Lexington Writer’s Room, you’re supporting a group of active writers who are producing professional-level work. They take seriously their craft and the business side of writing. You're helping our members produce more books, short stories, essays, and poems and supporting their ability to ensure their works reach more readers.
