The Writers Workspace -a subsidized writing room for authors to work, as well as hold monthly writing events, discussion workshops, support for under-represented writers, and author readings. This program is designed to inspire and improve the writing skills of members and participants. Our core mission is to help local writers produce more work and build their readership by offering them a well-appointed professional work and gathering space at a highly subsidized rate. This community support is a need because most writers cannot afford professional office space. Our members pay $50 per month for unlimited use of the space and access to several monthly peer-to-peer gatherings designed to help them develop their writing craft. We use donation and grant funding to pay operating costs not covered by membership dues. The Lexington Writer's Room expanded the number of member writers who use the space from 85 to 107, and increase of 21%. For each member, the space enabled them to create with greater focus, meet and learn from other writers, and access the business supplies they needed to hone and present their work. In addition to their use of the workspace, these local writers also attended monthly writing events and practiced reading their work. Part of the Lexington Writer's Room's mission is to help writers develop a more professional platform such that they can submit their work and be more competitive in the vying for publication and reading opportunities. Our fundraising efforts enabled thirty-nine member writers to receive professional photographer services to provide biographical photos for book covers. For many, it was the first time they'd had a professional photo to send editors and bookstores. 0 23234 23234 Lisa Haneberg Board Member 1 0 0 0 Jeff Hoagland Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Gwenda Bond Board Chair, President 5 0 0 0 Alison Kerr Board member 1 0 0 0 Pam Dorrel Secretary 1 0 0 0 Sam Milligan Board Member 1 0 0 0 Brittany Jackson Board Member 1 0 0 0 Jason Sizemore Board Member 1 0 0 0 Fiona young-Brown Board Member 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 KY Jeff Hoagland PO Box 1536 Lexington KY 405881536 5136380828 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 32077 130126 85496 84512 332211 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32077 130126 85496 84512 332211 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 332211 0 0 9 9 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9 9 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31928 400 32328 0 32077 130126 117433 84921 364557 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 $400 - Refunds & Rebates Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Refunds & Rebates - $400 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Advertising & Marketing - $167 Furniture & Equipment - $744 Program Supplies - $4241 Program Refreshments - $5180 Admin Expenses - $158.96 Business Licenses & Registrations - $15 Admin Supplies - $471 Bank Fees - $2086 Board Member Training - $50 Info Tech - $1421 Dues & Subscriptions - $224 Insurance - $2232 Fundraising expenses for books donated as in-kind $17286.41 Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Security Deposit - $3000 Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Credit Card - $1575
