Happy Birthday Charles Dickens and Christine White!

That’s right.  February is full of reasons to celebrate.

You know who Charles Dickens is,  but do you know Wordstock’s newest board member?  Meet Christine White, who happens to share February 7 with Mr. Dickens.

Wordstock: Why do you give Wordstock your time and money?

Chris: Because I firmly believe in the power of words to make the world a better place: to comfort, to inspire, to teach, to stimulate new thinking, to entertain and to draw us together.   I have worked in publishing and communication for most of my career and I see the value of literacy everywhere.  Whether content is delivered via an e-reader, a blog, or a good old-fashioned book, the power of good writing speaks for itself – and will continue to do so in the future. Wordstock nurtures and supports these efforts.

Join us in celebrating words and writers in February. Need something for your valentine, perhaps? See our February promotions.
