Title & Cover Reveal for the first Write to Read Project

Image
                        What Write to Read Does: Write to Read started with the idea that everyone has the right to read something they would enjoy. Unfortunately, many people do not have the resources to do so. Write to Read is dedicated to donating money and other related resources to the causes that directly aid literacy development and an interest in reading to people around the world. How, you may ask? Well, each project is started with volunteers to write. The Struggle of Me started as an idea to have multiple people taking turns writing on a solitary short story to be published as an electronic book. Hence, the name Write to Read. We believe the story, which quickly transformed into more of a novella, is a great one. Where Proceeds Go: Two years’ proceeds for Write to Read project #1 will be donated to Reading is Fundamental. Any proceeds made after will fund a future project.       Excerpt: "We sat staring at each other and in

I love reading books and seeing beautiful and creative cover designs inspires me. Not only to I enjoy the designing process, perfection
