In honor of Elizabeth, The Arcanist is duplicating her story payment and donating it to Girls Love Mail, a nonprofit that gifts handwritten letters to women newly-diagnosed with breast cancer. This charity combines Elizabeth’s love for writing while supporting breast cancer patients. We encourage you to donate as well.

We are honored to welcome Elizabeth into The Arcanist family and share her story with the world.
