Join Us in Writing for a Cause this December
Can you remember your first book? I cherish the memory of curling up in a big green velvet wing-back chair and reciting the lines of ”Goodnight Moon” to my grandfather.
For children, reading books is of precious importance. Through reading, children grow into adults who are adept at one of the most important skills there is—communicating with the world.
It’s startling to think that millions of children don’t have adequate access to books. In fact, 80 percent of preschools and after-school programs serving low-income populations have no age-appropriate books for its children.
As dedicated writers and copy editors, you surely recognize the importance of literacy. Your job is to enhance your reading and writing skills every day.
What, then, can you do to help solve this problem and provide children with the gift of literacy?
As a Demand Studios freelancer, this December, you will be putting books in the hands of deserving children across the country through your work. Demand Studios has partnered with First Book, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide disadvantaged children with new books, to deliver brand-new, age-appropriate books to children in underserved communities throughout the country.
For every eight approved articles submitted by the community in the month of December, Demand Studios—with the help of First Book—will donate a book to a child in need. You should take pride in knowing each approved article in your queue counts towards this goal. What better group to help share the joy of reading than our community?
We hope you’ll show your support and build awareness among your own communities by mentioning this new program on your blog, website and Facebook profile. And of course, we encourage you to continue contributing valuable content that now comes with an added bonus: making an impact in the lives of children. With your help, these very children could become the writers and editors of our future.
