From the beginning, it has always been incredibly important to us that Friday Night Writes remains a free platform through which we can foster safe spaces and build our book community. This has not and will not change. However, despite our best efforts to maintain this platform without asking for help, the time has come when we're forced to recognize that running a platform such as this comes with expenses, especially as it expands to include more and more of those who make our community amazing.
​​
Friday Night Writes will NEVER ask interview participants to pay for exposure, nor will we charge readers for access to our weekly spotlights. Instead, what we would like to do at this time is offer completely voluntary sponsorship options to those who want to help us keep Friday Night Writes running.
​
So, how will this work for our sponsors? Each tier addresses something that will allow us to keep the platform functional and/or support our guests, readers, and charities. Depending upon the cost required to achieve our goal, a limited number of sponsorships are available for each tier. Once those spaces are filled, the tier will no longer be available. (One point of clarification --- sponsorship is a one-time expense. We will not bill you on a cycle. If you wish to renew once your feature term has ended, you can totally do that, but we will not ask you to!)
​
In return for their generosity, sponsors will receive special promotion from Friday Night Writes. We will add their photo/logo, author biography, links to their platforms and sites, etc. to the page underneath the pledge they have chosen to fulfill. These features will remain in place until the need to purchase such an item arises again. (We will provide an estimated amount of time the sponsorship will last along with the tier description to the best of our capabilities.) In addition, sponsors will receive shout-outs on our platforms, including but not limited to the Facebook Group, newsletters, Instagram, and Threads. Some sponsorship tiers also include the option of a video interview.
 
As always, our goal is to be as transparent as possible because neither Evie Black nor Samantha Moran seek to profit from your donations.
​
(Important Note: Should excess funds arise from sponsorships, all funds will be used to replenish these needs or will be donated to the yearly charitable organization. (For 2025, this would be The National Alliance on Mental Illness.) Any and all uses of funds beyond what is written here will be disclosed immediately.)
​
Thank you to all who may consider sponsoring Friday Night Writes. We appreciate your generosity.
