Feel free to use this language as a starting point:
Hi Friends and Family! I'm fundraising to support a beloved home of the DMV writing community, The Writer's Center. This Fall, The Writer’s Center is putting on a Submit-O-Thon that helps me get my work published in a four-hour race!
This Fall, we want to raise $6,000. Your gift, today, will help The Center keep providing Workshops and Free Events to support my writing.
The only way to get published is to submit, so help me cross that finish line!
I'm so grateful for your support,
(your name here!)
