Building on the success of our previous three Write for a Cause campaigns, we are thrilled to announce a special holiday edition that promises to be our most impactful one to date.
Demand Media is working with First Book and HarperCollins Publishers to equip hundreds of childhood literacy programs across the country with age-appropriate books this December. To make sure we raise the greatest number of books possible, we need your help!
Taking Part is Easy: For every eight articles written and approved from December 1 through December 15 a few exciting things will happen:
- Demand Media will donate one book on behalf of our writers and copy editors
- HarperCollins will match our total donation resulting in twice as many books
- Writers and Editors will become eligible for fun prizes and recognition for each article
Be a Part of Something Big: In the previous three Write for a Cause campaigns, our dedicated writers and editors together donated more than 41,000 new children’s books. Combining your creative talent and our philanthropic partnerships, this edition of Write for a Cause promises to be our most successful to date. To learn more about those on the receiving end of the book drive, watch this video from our friends at FirstBook:
Have Fun Doing It: To make sure everyone wins by Writing for a Cause, we will be awarding daily prizes to participants. Past prizes have included the Complete New Yorker Gift Set, autographed editions of popular books and recognition in a widely distributed press release. Every article you write is a chance to win. We urge you to pledge some of your time and creativity this December and make a difference in the lives of thousands of underserved children.
