First EDition Donors
First Edition Donors are individuals who make a financial gift between November 5, 2024, and December 31, 2025. Your contribution will help us secure the funds needed to cover the capital costs of our new Candler Park space, where we will build a permanent writer’s studio, reading lounge, and bookstore designed to empower Atlanta’s writers and readers. In return for your donations, we will ask you to provide a word, phrase, or sentence for us to imprint on the furniture, walls, and shelves in the new Lostintheletters space.
All First Edition Donors will be listed alphabetically on the website and printed event programs! If you prefer, you can spread out a donation over multiple months.
After you make your donation, we will email you to get your word/phrase/sentence!
Thank you so much for your generous support!
The Word
$250 - $499
Give us your favorite word, and we will place it on the furniture, walls, or shelves in the new Lostintheletters space in Candler Park. Your word can be anything, but consider something with some poetic rhythm or interesting meaning.
The Phrase
$500 - $999
Give us your favorite phrase, and we will place it on the furniture, walls, or shelves in the new Lostintheletters space in Candler Park. Your phrase can be a fragment of a longer line or a string of words you like that don’t need to make sense.
The sentence
$1,000+
Give us your favorite sentence (from literature, music, film, etc.), and we will place it on the furniture, walls, or shelves in the new Lostintheletters space in Candler Park. Tell us your sentence’s origin!
