Are you a writer hoping to change the world? Do you see all the destruction from the Los Angeles wildfires and wonder what you can do to help?
Now you can do both by participating in an online auction setup by Kidlit For Los Angeles. There are 421 items that appeal to book lovers and writers.
The auction’s goal is to raise $120,000 in funds for the victims in Los Angeles. They are 70% there. They have even extended the deadline to January 28, 2025.
Winning bidders will donate directly to one of the organizations that will benefit the wildfire victims. You can then get your prize by showing proof of donation.
You can snag a signed set of Wings of Fire books or other great books, get a virtual school visit from your favorite author, cool art, or a critique from authors, agents, or editors.
If I were a published author, I’d donate a book or two. Since I’m not, I’m going to support them by bidding on some great chances at getting my picture book manuscript critiqued and ready for submission.
