“A word after a word after a word is power.” Margaret Atwood

Show your love and support for emerging women writers by donating to JSPF this February — and your gift will be doubled! (The first $400 donated will be matched by some generous supporters).

Funds will be used for the the Clara Johnson Award and to keep this important, privately-funded organization viable. In 2026, JSPF will present the ninth annual Clara Johnson Award and continue the successful author readings. 

We appreciate all donations; $5 and $10 donations are permanent options on the JSPF Donations page. For those able to give $35 or more, we’ll send you a book (allow the board to choose) from previous Clara Johnson Award submissions.

Thank you for supporting JSPF.
