Tom Epperson, author of The Kind One, joins Barbara DeMarco-Barrett and Marrie Stone in a special KUCI Fund Drive interview.

“Writers on Writing” is committed to bringing you the best in author and agent interviews. Each week, for 11 years, we have dedicated this show to writers struggling with the art and craft of the written word.

Hundreds of newly published writers, and dozens of prize-winning and highly acclaimed authors have been guests of the show. Agents and publishers have shared their wisdom and insights into the book industry. All of this available, week after week, via podcast and public radio.

Now is your opportunity to show your support. Any donation, large or small, is appreciated. We depend not only upon listeners like you–we depend on you–each and every one of you. We appreciate your loyalty, your comments, and your support.

Thank you and enjoy the podcast.

Fund drive

Posted April 29 2009 by Barbara DeMarco-Barrett

7 a.m.
Marrie and I hope that today you will call between 9 and 10 a.m. PT to donate to KUCI during our annual fund drive. The station hangs in the balance, and needs to raise funds. Your donation is tax deductible and we have books, CDs, tickets (if you’re local) as premiums. Call 949 UCI-KUCI this morning and I’ll be there, answering phones. And thanks for your steady support over these 11 years.

11:37 a.m.
Thanks to Bruce Miller, Cindy Cooksey and Taurean Watkins for donating to the station during the fund drive. The fund drive will be on next Weds., too, though you can call anytime and donate, and go to www.kuci.org, as well. Just indicate that you’re donating for “Writers on Writing.” (You can also contact Marrie or me off hours and we’ll take your donation.) If you listen to the show or podcast and find it valuable, Marrie and I hope that you will donate. The smallest amount–$10!–helps. We still have books (and CDs and gift certs., etc., as premiums.)

The university doesn’t fund the station and we’re finding it more and more difficult, financially. Please help us stay on the air. (The podcasts are a direct result of the on-air show.) Unless, of course, you don’t listen and don’t care, and then if the show goes away, you won’t notice….; } And thanks…
