THE 25/12 CAMPAIGN: SEND A HANDBOOK TO A WRITER IN PRISON
Every year, PEN sends over 10,000 Handbooks for Writers in Prison, free of charge, to inmates around the country. Your donation will help us reach even more writers. A $25 donation covers shipping and handling costs to send 12 Handbooks to inmates across the country.
The Prison Writing Program sponsors an annual writing contest, publishes a free handbook for prisoners, provides one-on-one mentoring to inmates whose writing shows merit or promise, conducts workshops for former inmates, and seeks to get inmates’ work to the public through literary publications and readings.
Your $50 donation allows us to continue supporting and fostering inmates’ voices, as well as expand our programs to reach even more inmates across the country.
