It takes me immense pleasure to
share the first royalty received for our four successful anthologies. Honestly,
more than the fancy title that I hold at Author’s United (AU) – this first cheque gives me a reason to be
really proud of our efforts, and work published so far. We are one FAMILY, and
we are growing very fast. I see the growing likes for our page, and that keeps
us moving in the right direction. Here is the link to ‘LIKE’ our page of Author’s
United (AU).
Firstly, I would like to
congratulate Hammad Khan who founded this whole idea of bringing authors of
different countries, cultures and genre under one roof – known as ‘Author’s
United’.
Secondly, I would like to thank
the pilot batch of Author’s United as they showed complete trust in us, and the
idea of working for a social cause.
I would like to express my deep gratitude for
all those haiku poets who believed in our very first project of Haiku, and
contributed their work for the anthology. Not to forget – their contribution
and our concept ranked this anthology among the top 100 bestsellers in that
category. This was an achievement for AU in itself.
How can I forget to thank all the
volunteer editors who worked with us in editing these anthologies? It takes a
lot - to design a book, to proofread a book, to write various sections of the
book, and above all an error free work for our readers.
AU does not pay to the writers
and the editors. Also, AU started the platform with self-publishing tools. This
cheque is our belief in the self-publishing tools, and shows our loyalty
towards our readers. Good to know – we have not disappointed them!
To mention – AU contributes the
royalty received for the social cause. Without your consent – we could not have
accomplished this first milestone of social cause. We are planning to start the
social cause wing of AU, and will be soon sharing it with AU family and
readers.
