MAKE Literary Productions's End-of-Year Wrap-up!
Thinking about what to give these holidays?
Give MAKE, Give to MAKE, Get MAKE
First off, nice to see you here! We know it’s a busy time of year, and we really appreciate that you’re considering a tax-deductible donation to MAKE Literary Productions—and/or a pre-order of our magazine MAKE #17, “Belonging!” (Did you know that the Lit & Luz Festival is a MAKE Literary Productions's program—born from the pages of MAKE? If not, poke around a bit. It's nice here. Plus, better buttons.)
This past year, MAKE Literary Productions's generous funders, individual donors, sponsors, and volunteers helped us to publish and promote contemporary literature and visual art and to create dynamic programming, including the 4th annual Lit & Luz Festival of Language, Literature, and Art. We invite you to join them and be a part of bringing new writing and live events to greater audiences than ever before.
We have big goals for 2018 and in order to achieve them, we need your support. In exchange, we’ll do what we set out to do—and most likely, more. We’ll also shower you with our gratitude through great literature, one-of-a-kind works of art, performance, and even standing desks (huh?).
Give and get it.
Through December 31st, MAKE #17 "Belonging" is available for pre-sale for only $17, postage included (cover price $20/shipping). MAKE #17 celebrates a new decade of the magazine with a unique design and larger, 9x13 format, and, per usual, more extraordinary content than ever before. Pre-orders will also receive a complimentary admission to the release party in Chicago (details TK).
MAKE Literary Productions is a 501c3 nonprofit and your donation is tax-deductible.
