Authors for Australia

Authors for Australia

As an industry, there is so much that we can do if we stand together, which is why we ask that you help us stand together for Australia. The Australian bushfires have caused damage beyond compare to many of the people and animals sharing the country as their home. As the suffering continues and the fires spread, many of us are looking for a way to help those in need while being across the sea. This is why Jess Dallow and I have started the #AuthorsforAustralia call for donations.

While we understand that many fundraisers are doing auctions for services, we want to make sure that all citizens in all classes and countries who have even a small amount to donate can still win a prize. We believe that working together to raise money in this way will not only encourage more people to participate and donate, but will accumulate more money for the cause and encourage community. Because of this, anyone who shows proof of a donation to one (or more) of the below Australian fundraisers in need during the next few weeks (until February 17th, 2020) will be entered to win one of the prizes we are giving away for free from multiple agents, editors, and authors in the industry.

There are two steps to enter:
1. Donate money to a below fundraiser and receive a confirmation!
2. Screenshot or forward your confirmation to our email with the below information included!

What to include in your email:
1. Your screenshot or confirmation of donation
2. Your name
3. An email address you can be reached at
4. Country you live in
5. Whether you'd like to win an item or a critique (or either one!)
6. Age Range and Genre of the work you'd like critiqued (or of the books you like to read, if asking for an item) so we can match accordingly

After double checking that all of this information is included in your email, please send to AuthorsforAustralia@gmail.com. If your email does not contain all of the necessary information, you will not be entered into the giveaway. 

We'd like to ask you to kindly share this giveaway on all of your social media platforms in order to increase the amount of donations heading towards Australia.
​A sample post for your convenience: 
"I just donated to an Australian Fundraiser in need and am entered to win a writerly prize! Join #AuthorsforAustralia in putting your funds where they're most needed, and you could enter to win, too. More info here: http://litagentkelly.com/authors-for-australia"

**Please note that donating money and entering into our giveaway does NOT guarantee you will win a prize. We ask that you donate out of the kindness of your heart, and as a thanks for donating, we will randomly select winners based on the entrants on February 17th. No one organizing this page, submitting prizes, or donating to the Australian fundraisers are receiving any money from this giveaway.
