Community Service Anthologies
I believe a more harmonious and supportive society begins with literacy. I believe that a successful life begins with, and is enhanced by, the written word. I believe that not everyone is able or inclined to pick up trash by the side of the road or give blood or donate financially in order to contribute to the well-being of their community. I know there must be an alternative. I believe that alternative is the Power of The Pen!
To support the needs of the world's illiterate population, and to give writers a place to share their talent and creativity, my company, Pages Promotions, LLC has created a Community Service Anthology Project Program.
Two or three times per year, we offer enticing prompts that, when multiple authors contribute, results in a stunning book, created from our combined creative energies. Writers of Every Age, Stage, and (nearly) Every Genre Are Welcome To Submit! We offer novice and experienced writers, alike, the opportunity to join together to create a force to be reckoned with... shared experience through the written word. Student contributors are offered community service certificates to help them achieve their graduation requirements while investigating the potential of their imagination.
One of the things that gives the pursuit of writing meaning is the impact our words have on the lives of others. What we write, whether real or imagined, can, and often does, spark tremendous connectivity with our readers. Words give others permission to feel, learn, and understand points of view or concepts that perhaps they would not have encountered, had they not picked up a book.
Works of charity, I believe, are essential to the empathetic, evolutionary path humanity must travel if it is going to sustain and prevail throughout the next seven generations, and beyond.
Without the goal of improving literacy standards the world over, our society is doomed to fail. An illiterate population hinders every aspect of a country's development... it's economy, agriculture, industry and manufacturing, arts, sciences, technology, and most importantly, governing. A society that lacks basic literacy skills is threatened by terrorists, despots, and, most tragically, apathy.
Please support the Pages Promotions' Creative Light Writer's Guild mission to serve humanity with the written word. Our anthologies and collaborative novels are available on Amazon and directly through contributing authors at festivals.
