The authors of Romance Unleashed are banding together to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis, and they’re asking for your unique help, whether you’re an author or a reader.
These twenty ladies at RU became published authors between 2004 and 2006, and another common goal they have is supporting their community and knowing united they could make a difference in the world. They decided a write-a-thon would combine their love of writing with their desire to raise money for charity. This idea became the Unleash Your Story event, a month long write-a-thon that will be fun, help writers set and meet writing goals and encourage both readers and writers to donate as they root for their favorite author or team.
~ The goal for this first annual event is $10,000 to help find a cure for CF.
~ The Pacesetter author for the month will be Debbie Macomber. She is famous for her persistence and dedication to writing daily.
~ There’s two ways to help and different ways to participate:
~ Readers and Writers can join a team or work as individuals to set a goal for the Unleash Your Story month. Certificates will be awarded for individuals and teams who meet their goal as well as for those who keep up with the guest Pacesetter author.
~ Supporters can donate in the name of their favorite team and watch word count totals and team donation totals grow.
~ Every participant and supporter will also have a chance to enter a drawing for one of several prize baskets. Make your writing or donation goal each week and earn more chances to win!
~ Join or start a team. Teams can be made up of readers or writers.
~ Set your team writing or reading goal! Writing goals will be in word count, reading goal in pages read.
~ The 2008 event will run from September 1 through September 30, 2008.
~ Win prizes! Each week you meet your word or donation goal, you will receive a chance to enter to win a prize package. The individuals and teams with the top five donation levels will be named “Our Heroes” and receive a special reward!
