Dear Givers and Lovers of the Literary Arts,
The Life Journeys Writers Club, Inc., regarding its Life Journeys Writing and Mentoring Project (LJW&M), has been hard at work!
Currently, the LJWC has focused on its Life Journeys Publishing Project. We discovered several literary works that blossomed in our Life Journeys Writing and Mentoring workshops and yearned to be published. Thus far, we have helped three writers get to the finish line of authorship. We guided them throughout the creative process (coaching, instruction, and editing) and protected them throughout the publishing and promotions process—which included giving them financial assistance to see their dreams come true. And we have others waiting in line.
Upcoming, LJWC plans to encourage, inform, and support its Native American populations (adults, teens, and children) by conducting Life Journeys Writing and Mentoring workshops and the stage productions of participants’ works. We will continue supporting those connected to our penal systems and at-risk men, women, and youth. Also, look for us via a Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit this summer or fall.
The LJWC (its dba is Life Journeys Writers Guild) Mission Film Project, The Prison Plumb Line, continues to stream on Tubi so that all can benefit from its universal message. To support, click and view! We use the film to spur creative writing expressions and discussions about second chances, positive decision-making, and more. We’re using it as a public awareness tool.
The impact of all our programming is its ability to create tangible access and mentorship to accrue information, encouragement, and opportunity to safely express oneself (create voice) as well as the enhancement of life skills, communications skills, academics/career opportunities, social tolerance, and awareness, and to discover and grow literary talents for those underserved and underrepresented. Through this, vital and nurturing relationships materialize for everyone involved. We stand ready to encourage and ignite passions, utilizing the wealth of the written word—showcased in multiple disciplines.
A sincere thank you for all your tax-deductible donations and for those few dedicated givers who make recurring donations. Your generous gifts enable us to feed the passions of those who love and need to engage in the Literary Arts.
Kindly, I hope you will spread the good word on the wealth of writing, how we’re working hard to make a difference, and that even a modest monthly gift such as $10/$25 (tax-deductible) can fuel our impact on the world. All in all, we are very grateful!
Thank you so much!
