SILENT AUCTION IS NOW OPEN--BID UNTIL DEC. 3

The major component of the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame's year-end funraising push is our silent auction fundraiser. We need revenue to help us fund our signatature ceremonies like the Fuller Award. You need a Sedona vacation condo. We need money to built more literary tour apps. You need a manuscript consultation with heralded author Christine Sneed. We need a slush fund to pay our blog contributors. You need a holiday catering gift card from Buena Beef. We need a slush fund to build up our Chicago Literature Index. You need a day in the bleachers at Wrigley Field. Let's get together on some of this, people. Please bid early and often. In the great Chicago tradition, vote, or bid, twice. Lots of unique, wonderful items on offer. We appreciate your support, and will, as always, make the most of it.
