Welcome to the fifty-fourth issue of my weekly news article, Love dA Lit! :squee: Every Sunday this news article will aim to promote volunteer opportunities, various resources, prompts, challenges, and workshops, as well as highlighting various contests, interviewing various members of the literature community and spotlighting a specific group every week. This is by no means a complete list of all the literature going-ons, merely a tool to help you get involved and stay informed.

Note: Thanksgiving Note Project 2011 ends today, November 27th, at 23:59 GMT!
