Help me get to AWP '25
Help Me Get To AWP ‘25 In LA!
If you are new to my site or me, Aloha! I’m Melissa! I’m a native Hawai’ian living in Japan, and I write a lot of flash and micros. E komo mai! The AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs) Conference for 2025 is in LA, and this is the first year since 2008 that I am able to get off from work to go. I am hoping that you, my wonderful writing community, will help me get there!
Here is how you can help:
Flash Feedback
Workshops
Donations
FLash Feedback
Send me a flash (or a mix of micros/flash) under 1000 words and what you would like me to look at, for example:
developmental editing
line edits
a mix
overall thoughts
literary magazines/journals to submit to
I will do my best to reply to you within one week (probably sooner). All I ask is that you “pay me what you want” to help me get to AWP 2025 in LA!
Workshops
To be announced…
Donation
If you would like to just donate, here is the information for my PayPal, Ko-fi, and Zelle:
Zelle: llanesbrownlee@gmail.com
Ko-fi: lumchanmfa (for transparency Ko-fi charges transaction fees even on donations)
Thank you so much for your kindness and your help!
PS: If you are interested in donating and getting a postcard with original art and a writing prompt, click here for my Ko-fi commissions page!!
Some Extra stuff
At the moment, I am offering “pay what you want” for flash feedback as well as some already scheduled workshops with more to come (which will be pay what you want as well) as I figure out what to teach and how to schedule them via google calendar.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for what you might want to learn about, talk about, write about!
