Make it a Stella Christmas
Unbelievable as it seems, Christmas is just around the corner. As you make your gift-giving decisions this year, consider books by Australian women as your first choice.
What better way to say season’s greetings than a rewarding summer read by one of Australia’s wonderful women authors? What cooler Yule is there than one spent with some superb books by women writers stacked under the tree? The 2014 Stella Prize longlist has something to suit every taste.
Along with books, another great gift is a donation to the Stella Prize. For the cost of a paperback, you could sign up for a monthly pledge. This is how our valued monthly donor Chips Mackinolty explains his support:
“I read perhaps a dozen books a month. So it seems that for the price of a couple of extra books a month a regular donation to the Stella Forever campaign is a no-brainer. This is particularly so during a period when support to the arts generally is precarious, and technology is changing the ways we access and experience the arts. The key is to establish a long-term trust fund that will be able to weather the powers that be; seize the changes in technology; and embrace the work of Australian women writers.”
Monthly pledges provide Stella with reliable, regular and much-needed financial support. Be cool like Chips, and sign up for a monthly gift today. You can make your own donation, or donate a gift in the name of a loved one.
This Christmas, buy books, buy Australian, and back our brilliant women writers.
