Festival of Words seeks volunteer authors and songwriters for a fundraiser, Words for You. Artists craft custom poems, stories or songs for patrons.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Authors volunteer to write one creative work.
- Patrons review list of authors
- Each patron chooses an author to write a custom creative work for them.
- Patron makes a donation to Festival of Words
- Each author writes a custom work using information that is provided (July 24—August 26, 2024)
- Works are read aloud at a LIVE/ hybrid event on September 7 at the Lafayette Main Library. Funds raised by Words for You contribute to the 15th annual Festival of Words. The Festival of Words brings established authors from all over the world to Acadiana to give public readings, writing workshops in community centers and public schools during the first week of November. These funds will help to ensure the continued success of these programs.
