Reclaiming the Archive: A Fundraising Workshop for Cody’s Books
Reclaiming the Archive: A Fundraising Workshop for Cody’s Books
NOV 9 : 10-12PST / 1-3PM EST
Cody Cook-Parrott is the author of How to Not Always Be Working and Getting to Center - two books that currently say their dead name on the cover. This is confusing for business and artistry, and if they can buy the remaining stock of 980 books it will trigger a reprint with their current name on the cover in time for the release of their next book, The Practice of Attention!
This investment costs $8820. In order to raise this much money they are hosting this fundraising event and workshop. Can't attend live? The workshop will be recorded.
Or you can simply contribute in solidarity — every dollar helps. Anything raised over $8820 will go toward printing stickers to place on the cover and spines of the books, shipping, and managing inventory.
The workshop is valued at $55 but you can contribute as little as $27 (that helps me buy back 3 books!) - You are encouraged and welcome to contribute more if you are able - $111, $222, $500, $1000!
WHAT WILL WE DO IN THE WORKSHOP :
This workshop is about reclaiming and re-animating your own archive — as an artist, writer, or small business owner.
Together we’ll explore:
- How to organize, revisit, and repurpose old projects.
- How to transform past work into new stories.
- How to reclaim creative lineage as a living practice.
Expect journaling prompts, guided reflection, and live conversation.
Cody will read from How to Not Always Be Working and Getting to Center, share what this reclamation means, and talk with special guests about the practice of renaming, lineage, and attention.
There will also be book giveaways, prizes, and small surprises throughout the session
WHY IT MATTERS :
This is more than a fundraiser — it’s a collective act of creative sovereignty.
Every registration helps bring Cody’s early works home under their true name — aligning the archive with the artist before The Practice of Attention arrives.
A very fun workshop and fundraiser party online!
