A Storm Country Anthology Giveaway!

A Storm Country Anthology Giveaway!

This Monday, The Writers’ Lens is giving away a copy of Storm Country, an anthology assembled by Missouri Writers Guild to help support the recovery effort in Joplin, Missouri.

Last year, Joplin was devastated by a tornado that destroyed most of their schools. It took out a large section of the city too, but the schools lost almost everything. So Missouri Writers Guild sprang into action and put out the call for books. They collected thousands of books and school materials and transported them to Joplin. Deborah Marshall, President of Missouri Writers Guild put out the call for submissions. They created an anthology and donated the proceeds to the Joplin Schools.
