Thank You!

The loft runs entirely on volunteer energy. We have a dedicated board and the most amazing volunteers. We hope you thank them on a regular basis because everyone is working for the good of the group!

Ways you can thank the Loft

Be a positive influence inside and outside the Loft.

Spread community outside the Loft when you go out to SCBWI events, RWA, or other communities.

Buy our books, our presenters' books, and sign up for presenter workshops.

We strive to pay our presenters excellent wages, and we strive to offer events at low cost. We understand everyone has limited funds, so we rely on people signing up, taking classes, and attending workshops to pay our presenters.

Buy our member's books from our Bookshop

Proceeds from book sales at our Bookshop fund the Writers Loft Press and the donations of books we make to underprivileged schools.

Volunteer resources & time!

Check out our wish list below to see what we're looking for at this time.

Wish List

Epson Expression 12000XL
Graphic Arts Scanner

This would enable our members (mainly artists) to scan in large artwork into the digital space. It will help our anthology process, as well as help all of our illustrators!

Donate specifically towards a scanner here.

Upgraded Presentation Suite
for our main room

A great projector, a mic, a camera, and a tech set-up so we can effortlessly zoom our workshops!

A Podcast Booth

This would help any author or illustrator who wants to record things in a soundproof space. Voice actors could use it to record audio books and pod-casters could record there. We're still looking at whether we'd buy a premade booth or hire a contractor to create it. If you know of a good brand of soundproof booth, let us know!

Donate specifically towards a booth here.

Volunteer: A Kind E-Mailer!

Someone to answer the Writers' Loft email account and forward questions to the appropriate board members! We would have a one-month trial and then we'd be happy to gift you a Gold membership if you are the person for the job!

If you are interested in applying for this role, email us and tell us why you are the person for the job. Bonus if you are humorous and down to earth in your "application." If we don't answer right away, it's because we need someone to help us with our email! :)

Volunteer: A Social Media Guru

You actually don't have to know a ton about social media to do this job. Here's the gist:

Grab our posters for our events and post them to our public Facebook page, our private Facebook group, our Insta, Twitter, and generally spread the word about our events in a fun way! We'd have a one-month trial period, and then we're happy to gift you a Gold membership if you are good at this!

If you are interested in applying for this role, email us and tell us why you are the person for the job. Bonus if you are humorous and down to earth in your "application." If we don't answer right away, it's because we need someone to help us with our email! :)

Have another idea?

Our move to the larger space in Hudson affords us to dream bigger! How you can help:

Become a Loft Member, or upgrade your membership to a higher tier! Since we run completely on volunteer energy, all of your membership dues go to our rent and upgrades to our space!

If you'd like to help more, feel free to donate through our PayPal! You can let us know specifically what you want your donation to go toward!
