Help Ruby get her Masters!
Donation protected
Hello! You may know me from my spoken word, comedy or writing silly things on the internet! Now I know there's a lot going on at the moment and I really hate to be doing this but I need your help.
After three years of working full-time, I got onto my dream masters in March: Creative Writing at the University of Manchester. All was going swimmingly until at the last minute I got rejected for an essential bursary to afford my living costs. I'd been hoping to use this money for food, travel and finally getting my own laptop (I am currently writing this on the computer I had to borrow from work as I can't currently afford a functioning one of my own. )
This has been a gutting obstacle to my plan. As a working class writer, I've worked so hard, taking every freelance job on top of my 9-5 so I could get to pay off my debts and save for this on my own, but it's just not enough. I'm meant to start in October,
And if you feel weird about giving money for nothing, I am willing to offer to read and provide feedback on a piece of writing for anyone who donates. Yes, anything, scripts, articles, short stories, poetry, anything. I can't promise I'm an expert, but if you need another set of eyes, I'm your gal.
To get a taste of my work, you can read one of my stories here for free:

I will also write you two sentence stories on Twitter for the price of a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/rubymartinart
I can't tell you guys how much I would appreciate the support, so if you have ever enjoyed anything I've done or in fact you've hated it and wish I had a formalised method of improving, please donate!
