Let’s Write 2025: An Anniversary Fundraiser

IALA is turning four! To celebrate our anniversary, join us for a virtual fundraiser on March 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM Pacific | 1:00 PM Eastern | 9:00 PM Armenia time. The event will be a marathon of writing prompts and exercises for the IALA community and beyond led by contributors to Wasafiri Magazine’s special issue, Armenia(n)s – Elevation.

Open to members and non-members, the event is free of charge but a donation of $25 or more is suggested. Register and donate.

Note: The fundraiser will directly follow from our Literary Lights panel discussion with Wasafiri Armenian issue editors and contributors at 9:00 AM PT | 12:00 PM ET | 8:00 PM AMT. The panel, chaired by the issue’s co-editors, Tatevik Ayvazyan and Naneh V. Hovhannisyan, will feature Wasafiri’s Editor-in-Chief and Publishing Director, Sana Goyal. Bringing together a poet, a comparative literature scholar, a nonfiction writer, and an ethnomusicologist, this discussion will delve into reading, writing, narratives, and hopes. Registration allows you to attend either or both events.
