Many thanks to Erin Bowman, Caroline Richmond, Tracy Niethercott, and Sara Enni for organizing Read for Relief--a fundraising effort to help those hit the hardest by Hurricane Irene in August 2011. It's heart rending to see so many having lost everything. If you were wanting to help but unsure how to go about doing it, this is your chance, my friend.
Many have generously offered prizes to help raise money--and the prizes are beyond awesome! Read for Relief is set up as an auction with bids taking place within the comments. Love it! (I'm also obsessed with Ebay, what can I say?) Sooooo, what might the prizes be?
Well, here's just a few of the goodies up for auction right now:
- First Chapter Critique and a signed copy of A NEED SO BEAUTIFUL by Suzanne Young
- 10 page Critique by Associate Editor Sarah Dotts Barley, Harper Collins Children's Books
- Signed Copy of THE NEAR WITCH by Victoria Schwab
- 30 page Group Critique by Operation Awesome
- Query Critique by Agent Joanna Volpe, Nancy Coffey Literary and Media Representation
- Full MS Critique (proof reading/ line editing) by Rachel Bateman, freelance proofreader
- Editor 10 page Critique by Erica Sussman, HarperTeen
- Signed Hardcopy of OVER AND UNDER THE SNOW by Kate Messner (Due for release this fall)
Squee! Are you kidding me? There's way more than this up on the block and more to come. Some auctions close Wednesday, September 14th at 10pm EST. This is such a great cause, if you can, please try to spread the word!
What a great cause! It's wonderful to see so many people offering their time!
