From the Desk of Dr. Judith Briles

Hello

I have a special ASK … and a GIFT for you
If you love authors … and the words they share … plus the amazing stories revealed … and the solutions they provide … 

Will you join me in celebrating them during my birthday month? love is for you to support the Hall of Fame and the Aspiring Authors Scholarship program. 

Four years ago, I founded the Aspiring Authors Scholarships where budding authors-to-be over the age of 20 submitted applications for scholarships. Five were awarded. Three of the authors have completed their books.  

Several years ago, I founded the Colorado Authors’ Hall of Fame, the first in the country that exclusively inducted published authors that are connected to Colorado in one of five ways to ensure that their legacies are not forgotten. The Inductions are held in odd-numbered years and we’ve hosted three sold-out events since 2019. We are now accepting nominations for the next Induction on September 6th here in Denver. 

It’s 2025, and I have an ask … it’s not huge … but it’s a commitment from you. Will you do one or both to support these endeavors now? 

1.Would you DONATE any amount to the Hall for my birthday month cheer? If you will, it’s HUGE to me. And I thank you. As the Hall and the eventual aspiring authors and Hall Inductees will.

In return, for anyone who donates a minimum of $100, I am gifting to you …

a spot at my Speaking Unplugged Online Friday, March 21 Valued $397—it’s an 8.30 a.m to 4 event.
OR
a spot at my Press Release Unplugged event that will be held in April valued at $297. It’s a half day event—Online is on Friday, April 18th … and the In-Person is on Saturday, April 19th.
