Funding for Kenyon Review Writers Workshop 2021

We have reached our $2,295 goal. (This fundraiser is closed and no longer accepting donations).

UPDATE: The 2020 Kenyon Review Writers Workshop has been canceled due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. I will defer my acceptance and attend the workshop in Summer 2021 instead. Thanks again for your support.  -Arao

Hi friends and family! 

I have some good news: I’ve been accepted into the prestigious Kenyon Review Writers Workshop which takes place on June 21-June 27, 2020!  I’m very grateful for this opportunity but unfortunately, I do not have enough funds to attend. 

As a writer, this is an opportunity I can't miss and I'm taking a leap of faith with this campaign. 

I’d appreciate the opportunity to study under renown poets and writers Kimiko Hahn, Shara McCallum, Carl Phillips and Solmaz Sharif at Kenyon College for a week at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. 

To secure my spot in the workshop, I have to pay $500 by February 28. The remaining balance ($1,795) is due on April 30. The total of the workshop is $2,295. 

If you can’t donate, please take three seconds to share the link with your friends, family, or writers you may know. 

My mantras  for 2020 are simply: 

“I love my rejection slips. They show me I try.”

“I am made, crudely, for success.” 

— Sylvia Plath 

Thanks for helping me run towards my dreams! 

Warmest regards,

Arao
