The Writers For Hope event began in 2014 thanks to public speaker, storyteller, and nacho enthusiast Kelly Johnson.

Writers For Hope is held every April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Each year, members of the publishing & entertainment worlds — editors, agents, producers, and published and/or agented authors and screenwriters contribute their time and resources to raise money to support survivors of sexual violence. Donations include work critiques (ranging from queries to FULL manuscripts), consultation calls or Skype sessions, and signed books.
