Be the $10,000 buyer!

Conversation_cover_2 Less than 2 months ago, 103 hopeful authors and two neophyte publishers (yours truly and the always brilliant Gavin Heaton) launched Age of Conversation.

Our goals were pretty simple:

  • Get exposure for all the authors
  • Provide quality content
  • Explore what the "age of conversation" meant
  • Do something together that would eclipse what any of us would do alone

and the biggie -- raise money for Variety, the Children's Charity.  We set $10,000 as our first target for funds raised.

<60 days later....we have sold 1,274 books and raised $9,997.60.  WHO will put us over the top?  Can we get to our $10,000 goal before September 16th, the 2 month anniversary of the launch?

Whoever buys a book (e-mail me the receipt) between now and September 16th will be profiled on the Age of Conversation blog and no doubt, will get plenty of link love from the authors.

Looks like we just clicked over ...!

Drew,

Unbelievable! Way to go, everyone.

Gavin,

I'm hoping we might click over to $11,000 before the weekend's over!

We're getting closer to your $100K goal. Wouldn't that be something?

Drew

Lewis,

That's 100% accurate. Congrats to everyone! The book was such a collaborative labor of love...everyone has earned the pat on the back.

Including you, my friend!

Drew
