Script Frenzy is underfunded: Here’s how you can help (even if you have no money)

Do you guys smell that? It smells like… coffee… unwashed writers and… popcorn? This can only mean one thing!

Script Frenzy is coming.

But my enthusiastic countdown to Screnzy excitement is tempered by this sad fact: The Office of Letters and Light (the kick-ass non-profit behind NaNoWriMo, Camp NaNoWriMo, the Young Writer’s Program, and, of course, Script Frenzy) fell short of their fundraising goals for this year. I want to take a moment to ask for your assistance in helping them to make up this deficit (and you’ll see that you can absolutely contribute in some way even if you are completely broke yourself).

Here’s how you can help if you have some cash:

• Make a donation. Tax deductible and you’ll get special Thank You goodies at most levels!
• Buy some sweet Screnzy or NaNoWriMo swag. You’ve always wanted a NaNoWriMo hoodie. Or maybe you’ve had your eye on a Screnzy mug. Anything you purchase from the OLL store goes right back into funding their programs so get yourself a little present… and do some good at the same time!

Completely and totally poor right now? You can still help out!

• Spread the word! Tell your friends. Mention Screnzy on your blog. Tweet about it. Tumble it. Facebook your walls or whatever lingo Zuckerberg wants us to use. Put up a poster at your local library or coffee shop. Nag random strangers. You don’t even have to ask people to donate, just get them to sign-up. The more people we get to sign-up, the more support we’ll be able to raise to keep this event going year after year. Getting the word out is a free way that you can offer your support and it would be much appreciated!
