Don’t you just love it when you have a chance to do good by doing what you do best?
One of my favorite things about my work is the opportunity to advance the good work of my clients who are doing good in the world. I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects that have spread important messages that are near and dear to the hearts of their authors. And I learn something from every one of them.
One of my clients, Maria Ross, has shown me a new way to help spread important work to the world. Maria donated her book Rebooting My Brain: How a Freak Aneurysm Reframed My Life to be a part of Worldreader Books for All. Worldreader is an organization that is using the digital book publishing revolution as a way to promote literacy in developing countries. They are literally using books as a way to open doors for kids all over the world. They raise funds to buy Kindles and other eReaders and then fill them with books that have been donated by their authors.
If you are an author who can imagine your book being read by someone a world away and sparking something in them that could change their life I invite you to check out Worldreader. If your mother read to you as a child consider honoring her on Mother’s Day with a gift to Worldreader in her name. It is an amazing opportunity to do good in the world.
