The Night of Writing Dangerously Write-a-thon
Welcome to the 2018 Night of Writing Dangerously!

When: Sunday, November 18, 2018, 4:00 to 11:00 PM. Cocktail hour will be held in the bar from 4:00 to 5:00. The writing will begin when the ballroom opens at 5:00!
Where: The Julia Morgan Ballroom, Merchants Exchange Building, 15th Floor, San Francisco, California.

- Purchase a ticket directly in our store! (There’s even a special discount if you want to buy a table for eight!)
- Fundraise at least $375 through our Night of Writing Dangerously campaign.
- As soon as you’ve raised (or donated!) at least $375, fill out this RSVP form! If you raise or donate $650 or more, you can bring a guest: just RSVP with a “plus one” on your form.
- Not ready to purchase a ticket or start fundraising? Sign up for our Night of Writing Dangerously newsletter to get regular updates!
Keep in mind that the ballroom we’ve rented can only seat 225 folks, so we have to limit attendance to the first 225 people who RSVP.

Why Attend?
Because we want to write with you and celebrate the incredible power of creativity! Plus, proceeds from the evening make our programs possible, including the classroom-based Young Writers Program.
For the last several years, attendees have raised funds to improve our creative writing programs for children, teens, and adults alike. Come show your support this year by helping us reach our $80,000 fundraising goal!
