Hello Philadelphia Stories Supporters!
I hope this message finds you well. As the editors of Philadelphia Stories, we are thankful to celebrate 20 years of literary excellence in the greater Philadelphia area. We are even more thankful that you are walking with us in this journey and supporting this magazine and our events and programs.
Our mission is to cultivate a community of writers, artists, and readers in the Greater Philadelphia Area through publications, professional development, and promotion of area writers. Over the past year, we have worked diligently to provide you space to nurture your literary interest: the frequency of our distribution changed from four to two times a year, bringing you larger issues with more editorial content; the two Pitch Fest virtual events proved very successful with sold-out sessions; another engaging Philadelphia Stories Jr. magazine was released, continuing our partnership with student writers through Mighty Writers; our fiction contest has returned and we are accepting submissions until December 1st. To top off this amazing year, we plan to welcome New York Times bestselling author, Laurie Halse Anderson to help us celebrate our 20th anniversary on Saturday, October 26th. These achievements are made possible by the generous contributions from supporters like you.
As we look ahead, we want to continue to bring you more opportunities to partner with us. Your donations continue to directly support our programming. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant difference. To donate, please visit philadelphiastories.org/donate or contact us at our email addresses below.
Thank you for your joining us on this amazing journey with Philadelphia Stories. Your support is vital to our ongoing efforts and the positive change we strive to create.
Warm regards,
