Support Interstitial Arts


I am such a big supporter of the mission of the Interstitial Arts Foundation and I even have a story in Interfictions 2 along with a slew of other amazing writers. If you have the spare loot, why not donate to support this brave beautiful artistic foundation by sponsoring the Interfictions 2 anthology.

Even just little can go a long way.

Here are some ways you can help.

SUPPORT AN INTERFICTIONS 2 STORY

* $500 pays one author for a 10,000 word short story
* $375 pays one author for a 7,500 word short
