Today,
Tuesday, 02 December 2014, marks the launch of Scripting Change's second
anthology. It also gives me great pleasure to announce that I, Nada Adel
Sobhi, have a piece in the collection.
All proceeds from the sale of this poetry and short story anthology go to a charitable organisation, or as is the case with this year, three organisations. This year, the theme of the anthology is supporting literacy.

The community writing
project, Scripting Change, is incredibly
excited to announce the release of their second anthology: Beyond the Words!
Absolutely every piece of this e-book, from the coordination, to
the contents, to the beautiful cover art, was volunteered, and 100% of
proceeds will be donated to nonprofit organizations championing
literacy in their communities. Read on to find out why!
About the Project:
Scripting Change is a writing initiative that aims to bring
together the vast community of writers and readers in support of responsible
nonprofit organizations.
The project accepts submissions from writers, relating to a
theme that reflects an important cause. The selected pieces are combined
in an anthology which is published as an e-book, in this case: Beyond
the Words. Proceeds from this and every Scripting Change e-books'
sales are donated to the matched organization that champions each e-book's
cause.
By focusing on the compelling words of writers, Scripting Change
is able to raise not only funds but also awareness for the causes of
the organizations they support. The time and talents of everyone
involved are offered freely, so the project has absolutely no overhead costs,
which means every dollar raised is donated to positively
impact our society!
About the Nonprofits:
It
is impossible to overstate the importance of literacy, yet so many struggle
with this crucial skill. So, Scripting Change has decided to donate proceeds
from Beyond the Words to not one, but three nonprofits
throughout the United States, all of which foster literacy in their
communities.
Read for Literacy, in Northwestern Ohio, provides
learning opportunities for readers of all ages and backgrounds, with three
tailored programs: Creating Young Readers, for children in kindergarten through
2nd grade; Adult Basic Education; and English Language Learners, for non-native
English speakers.
Literacy Action, in Atlanta, Georgia, offers an
incredibly wide array of literacy programs for adults — from literal reading
assistance, to workplace literacy, family literacy & education, and
much more, this organization provides its community with crucial support,
enhancing so many lives!
Page Ahead, in Seattle, Washington, focuses
its literacy efforts on children, allowing elementary-school children to browse
book fairs at the end of the school year & choose their own books for
the summer — which are then provided to them by Page Ahead! They bolster this
program by also working with parents, helping them engage their young readers.
Now it's your turn!
Scripting Change depends entirely upon the support of the
community as a whole. The writers, and our cover designer, have done
their part; the coordinators have brought it all together; the bloggers have
graciously helped us spread the word – now it's up to the readers. We
hope you will enjoy the anthology!
Beyond the Words is available through:
Smashwords ~*~ Amazon: US; UK ~*~ Barnes & Noble
