Auction to support Christchurch: Two-chapter critique and call with literary agent Marietta B. Zacker and author Dana Alison Levy

Readers and writers and lovers of books! The amazing community of children’s book authors have put together an auction to help the victims and families of the mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand.

On Friday March 15, a gunman opened fire in two Christchurch Mosques, Masjid Al Noor and Linwood Masjid Mosque. During this terrorist attack, 50 people lost their lives and 48 people were injured.

As members of the kidlit community, we want to make a stand against hatred and Islamophobia, and show our solidarity with the victims and affected Muslim communities. The auctions and raffles on this page will support the United for Christchurch Mosque Shootings fundraiser, which aims to “help with the immediate, short-term needs of the grieving families.”

The auctions and raffles will be open March 24th at 12:01 AM EST and close March 27th at 11:59 PM.

My amazing literary agent Marietta Zacker and I have donated a critique and phone call with a lucky winner. But there are literally hundreds of other prizes, so please check out the auction, bid generously, and stand with us against Islamophobia and hatred.
