$50
Celebrated Benefactors

In the Young Writers Program, $50 covers the cost of improving one of our dozens of free lesson plans based on teacher and student feedback from the previous year, and mapping it to the Common Core English Language Arts Standards. This will help thousands more schools adopt Script Frenzy and NaNoWriMo as part of their curriculum.

Love the community-based ML program? Your $50 will cover the cost of making and sending stickers to Municipal Liaisons in ten cities to help entice participants out of their writing solitude and into the fun of local write-ins. Lifelong friendships (and increased writerly productivity) through sticker bribes: It's the Office of Letters and Light way.

As a Camp NaNoWriMo Celebrated Benefactor, you will receive:

  • A black-ink, fine-tip Camp NaNoWriMo twig pen.
  • A Camp NaNoWriMo thank-you postcard from Lindsey and Grant.
  • A donor Halo on your Camp NaNoWriMo writer profile.
