A Handmade Writer e-Course GIVEAWAY* UPDATED!
Posted on | March 3, 2010 | 10 Comments
I am so excited about this giveaway!
Amy Spencer is the wildly talented and creative force behind the blog, Bring Yourself and the author of The Crafter Culture Handbook and DIY: The Rise of Lo-Fi Culture. Her first novel, London Clay, is due to be published in 2011.
Amy is also an experienced workshop leader and crafter, and she’s teaching an e-course called the Handmade Writer.
Here’s a little sneak peak at the course:
“The Handmade Writer e-course will help you gather together material from every source imaginable. You will learn about the craft of writing and how to sew these fragments together to build your own pieces of creative writing. This e-course has been inspired by the strength of craft communities as well as the impulse to transform everyday finds into something amazing.”
The best part? She’s giving away a spot to one of you.
This is a chance for you to make the leap, claim creative space for yourself in your life and take your writing a bit more seriously (even if you don’t think of yourself writer!)
Read the whole course description here.
It begins Monday 12th April 2010
* Givewaway rules:
This giveaway is tiny bit different in that Amy offered this giveaway to me as a way to give you all a gentle, encouraging, nudge to go support A Field Guide To Now… so here’s how it will work:
* To enter, make pledge there… and leave a comment here.
* Comments can be just one word (say hello!) and pledges can be just 1$.
* The winner will be chosen at random by Sprout.
* Comments will be closed Saturday, March 6th at 5mEST.
The winner will be announced Saturday evening.
The winner (chosen randomly by SPROUT, who snatched at itty bitty snippets of paper with your names on them) is: Sonrie! Please email me & I’ll put you in touch with the incredibly talented Amy.

Hi Christina: best of luck to you with this project.
I think about grant proposals and what makes them successful–from what I learned working in non-profits is finding a way to communicate to the grant-giver how much this project needs the money, how it can’t work without the funding, and what the funding will specifically go towards. I’m just thinking this will especially help when you approach those with kind and deep (as in, non-graduate-student) pockets!
