Dear OT Members, Supporters, and Participants,
Open Thread has come a long way since we began holding events and reading your submissions in early 2007. Since then, we’ve held more fun-filled Variety fundraisers, established a new reading series - POETSBURGH - with Weave Magazine, and created the OT Blog. This month we’re launching the online preview of the Open Thread Regional Review, Vol. 1, which goes to print this January!
We may be wary of open displays of sentiment, but our success is due to you, dear reader. Maybe you’ve participated in our events or submitted your work online for our consideration. Perhaps you’ve simply done us the crucial service of paying the suggested donation at events. Whatever the case, when Vol. 1 goes to print, nearly 100 of your regional peers will have had their work featured by our publications, events, and blog.
Thank you.
To keep this regional arts goodness going, though, we need your continued support, and you don’t have to wait until our next event to deliver! Click here now to make an online donation! Open Thread is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions in behalf of Open Thread may be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
2009 has even more in store for you and Open Thread, including a second volume of the Regional Review, a new regional chapbook competition, more of the events you’ve come to know and love, and some super secret surprises for our registered members! You want to see it all happen, don’t you? Don’t you? Give today.
