We are very excited to announce that Writer's Room received its 501c3 Non-profit status in November! We are toasting to the occasion!
With the help of the USC Law School, Small Business Clinic we were able to complete, (what some have said, could take up to two years!) in a very short two MONTHS!
We met with our 3rd year law student and his professor in September, he started filing all the paperwork to turn WRP from a simple DBA to a fully formed nonprofit corporation.
We couldn't be more excited to now be able to seek out grant funding and donations to offer low cost or free programs to our schools, hospitals, and the foster care programs we are teaming up with in the 2016 season.
This winter has been very exciting for Writer's Room Productions. Not only have we continued to grow our showcases to more schools and care groups, but our podcast is fast approaching 1000 downloads!
With this growth we want to be sure we are still sending the right message of confidence and creativity to students from all walks of life. With the help of our friends from Spire, we have been able to find a new logo and program name that will carry this message even further.
We will now be offering different StorySpace programs for different groups of students. StorySpace programs will continue to ignite confidence in our student authors as they share their imagination with the community.

We were over the moon in December when Spire
, a graphic design community, reached out to us about donating their talents
to our nonprofit for branding and logo design! Their team meet with us at the new Wayfare
location in Fullerton and spent the day creating, imaging, and talking about how amazing our student authors can be.
We are now preparing and getting excited about launching our new branding design! We've partnered with so many amazing communities this year. Thank you for seeing the potential in the stories our authors have to tell.

We had a great time connecting with over 100 schools in the LAUSD 10th District, over the weekend. We love meeting new Title 1 schools in the neighborhood.
