Donor Intros: Day One!

Hello all and happy Wednesday! Today I get to begin the reveal of this year's AMAZING Writers For Hope donors. There are so many great and generous people to introduce so, to keep things organized, I'm going alphabetically.

While I could go on and on here about how awesome all these donors are, you didn't come here to read my incessant gushing - especially if you're someone who has spoken to me at any point in the past two weeks, because you've been listening to it nonstop - no, you're here to actually meet these fabulous people. So, I won't take up anymore of your time.

But they are all awesome.

There, I got that off my chest. Feeling much better. And now on to our donors!

Ronni Arno

Ronni Arno writes middle-grade and young adult novels, because she thinks kids are cool, and so are the books they read.

Ronni lives on the coast of Maine, where she stalks her kids for story ideas, kayaks and eats chocolate...but not usually at the same time.
