\"AtoZ<\/a>AtoZChallenge 2015: P is for\u00a0Philanthropy<\/h1>\n

Good day to you all, we hope you are having fun on the AtoZChallenge. Today at Wittegen Press, Natasha Duncan-Drake will be talking about her book “Chip Off the Old Block?”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Side note: we have just enabled Jetpack comments to allow people to use their Facebook, G+ or Twitter accounts to comment if they wish, but there is still the old option of name, email and url as well. We hope this will make commenting easier, but ff you have any problems, please let us know via our contact form<\/a> so we can fix it for you. Many thanks.<\/i><\/p>\n

So if you have been reading our posts you may have seen us mention Penny Dreadfuls 21 – our imprint where we created commissioned short stories until we chose to shut it down.<\/p>\n

Well, when we launched Penny Dreadfuls 21 we wanted to do something to gets lots of people interested and, also to help others. This is where philanthropy came in. Instead of charging people for custom short stories and pocketing the money, we asked them to donate to charity and send us a receipt. When the exclusivity period was up the books were then published as free titles\u00a0everywhere we could do that.<\/p>\n

This is how Chip Off the Old Block?<\/a> came about. I wrote it as a charitable commissions. It’s about 7.5K words long and I was asked for a funny paranormal story with a male\/male pairing, so I came up Owen – the Antichrist, who really isn’t suited to his role just yet. He gets on with his dad (yes the one with horns) okay, but his best friend is the son of the school chaplain, so he’s not totally with the program.<\/p>\n

I very much hope the story had made people smile over the time it has been published.<\/p>\n

Writers, have you ever sold a book for charity? Readers, do you enjoy giving by purchasing something an author has created for a good cause?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
