For the past few years we've been fortunate to have a space to host the annual overnight Night of Manuscripting Madly for NaNo WriMo. Sadly, this year that space was unavailable.
If we raise funds we can host our night at an exciting new venue in the middle of the CBD; and have ourselves an all-night write in with FREE entry! (And wi-fi! The gods are kind!)

This best part is every person who donates has the chance to win a prize:
Tier 1 Prizes (Donate $1 - $10)

A hand-made leather-bound note book!
OR
A set of music CD's perfect for writing inspiration!

Tier 2 Prize (Donate $11 or more)

A paperback copy of The Artist's and Writer's Handbook (2016 Edition!)
What is this book?
The annual edition of the best-selling guide to all aspects of the media and how to write and get published, the
Writers' & Artists' Yearbook is now in its 109th edition. Acknowledged by the publishing industry, authors and would-be writers as the indispensable companion to navigating the world of publishing.
The 80+ articles provide inspirational and how-to guidance on writing for newspapers, magazines, scripts for film, radio and TV; advice on writing and submitting plays, poetry, non-fiction and fiction of all genres - from fantasy to thrillers to romance; how to contact publishers and agents; managing finances as a writer; negotiating legal issues, such as copyright; understanding the editing process; self-publishing and conventional routes; digital and print.
Every one of over 4,500 listings of who to contact, where and for which disciplines across the media, are reviewed and most updated, with new listings added every year.
Donating and Collecting Tickets
For every extra dollar you donate, you get an extra raffle ticket!
Example:
Mary Sue donates $9. She receives 9x Tier 1 tickets.
Studly Stu donates $11. He could have 11x Tier 1 tickets OR 1x Tier 2 ticket.
Generic Villain donates $20. They can have 20x Tier 1 tickets or 10x Tier 2 tickets... OR further options, explained below:
"But can I donate $15 across both Tiers? I want to win EVERYTHING!"
Yes, you can!
Example: $15 can get you a maximum of 4 Tier 2 tickets and 1 Tier 1 ticket.
Because 4x Tier 2 tickets = $14 worth of donations!
Leaving you with $1 if you'd like 1 Tier 1 ticket
There's no limit to how much you can donate or how you want to spend it on your tickets!
COLLECTING YOUR TICKETS
When you donate here on Pozible, PLEASE leave a comment with your name and how many tickets you'd like. On the night, come and see someone at the donations booth (it might just be a little chair with a sign) and we can give you your raffle tickets.
May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favour... And The Force Be With You... And My Axe.
Prize Draw
The raffle will take place at the venue at 9pm on Saturday November 28. You must be in attendance to win a prize.
$185 worth of funds will go to venue hire! That's what this whole campaign is about.
10% of the raised total goes to Pozible, which is why we're aiming a little higher than the venue cost.
Anything else we raise will provide us with extra snacks and goodies on the night!
So what are you waiting for?! Ya gotta be in it... to win it!
What if we don't raise enough to cover the cost of the venue? Well... that is unlikely as it has already been booked!
Still, it would be nice to minimise how much of the hire comes out of one person's pocket...
And if nobody donates at all, then nobody will win any prizes! Trés triste.
