Juicy literary stuff
Gentle Reader, there's an auction happening. Novelist Tayari Jones, moved by the plight of the Dunbar Village gang rape survivors, decided to raise funds for the woman and her son by auctioning off such delectables as manuscript critiques, signed first editions by writers such as George Saunders and Pulitzer winner Natasha Trethewey, an author-photo session with a wonderful photographer, and other lovely perks donated by her circle of literary friends and acquaintances.
If you have a story, some poetry, a personal essay, or even an entire novel sitting in a drawer, you can get personal feedback from one of the terrific authors Tayari has lined up. They're all gentle and respectful, so no worries about getting your hard work savaged. I'm one of the donors, too, so if you've written a personal essay and want my feedback on the cheap--I'll provide line editing and overall comments--check it out.
The bidding started at 99 cents for many of the items, so it's a regular K-mart blue-light special right now. The auction ends tomorrow (Sunday), so if you're interested, check it out now! Get cool stuff and support a great cause.
