Writer Emily Schultz is often up to something interesting. Her Pocket Canon series of chapbooks is a memorable collection of wickedly funny tales – all contributed to Emily for publication anonymously. The series allows readers to judge the work on its own merit, rather than the star-power of the author, and also allows authors to publish stories they might feel are too risqué, mundane, unexpected, experimental, or [insert adjective here]. She’s about to launch another project that works with anonymous contributions, but in a very different way.
Writer? Or thief? I steal from just about everyone who crosses my path. But my fear is that someone, someday, will recognize a very familiar description, moment, or trait that has cropped up in my work. To avoid a fingering from those who don’t wish to be stolen from I’ve created this website. I’m asking YOU to Pledge Me: stories you’re not using, moments gathering dust, or obsessions that don’t fit anymore. What you don’t need will help someone in need.
Your anonymous donation will be incorporated into a brand new work of fiction along with the memories and stories of other donors. The final product created from these donations will be published on the Art Gallery of York University site for all to enjoy. Pledge now, and help keep fiction alive.
