Saying thanks...can it be enough?





Gotcha!
Before you turn the page let me tell you a little story.
There was a man called Felix LeRoy Perry that had an idea, to have a fond for authors falling in economical hardship. At the time he and the rest of us had no idea that the Big Economical Crunch was coming and with it…you know it by now.
When the crunch made it impossible demands, AD membership or food…that Felix idea came more actual than ever, and we needed a solution, and fast.
Hardships become lesser one if shared or at least opening a door where to escape from realities into a place where to write, to share, to be part of, to be not alone with the worries.
Falling out of AuthorsDen.com would give them time to think problem that could come, miseries that could be knocking at the door, cut off from that literary family where they could find that shoulder.
We contacted then Matthew Miller, founder of AD, holding Felix idea and one step farther, with an account already open
AUTHORSHELPACCOUNT(at)YAHOO.COM
with already money in it to put the help into action.
That’s was when AuthorsDen.com Matthew Miller, Founder and Director of and Management came with the idea to match dollar per dollar the donations of all the donor-authors so we could offer a Bronze Membership for a year to those going under water or already there.
Not satisfied with it, AuthorsDen.com opened for a payment of ten dollar per quarter to those which would like that solution as well as a moratorium in payments if that would help too.
And more, AuthorsDen.com was entertaining the idea to offer all the authors the means to assist authors in their writing, publishing and marketing efforts.
There was a question why AuthorsDen.com don’t lower the rates, because they have employees to be also paid, and one cannot paid 100 with one income of 50.
From being just a business in the eyes of many, Authors.comDen has shown a willingness to come to the aid, to accommodate and even to find ways to be part of the Literary Family that has congregated on their turf.
From a thought “business” they have become, by actions, the ones to thank for their vision to be part of and not act as a business saying “take it or leave it” your problems are not concern of ours.
Matthew Miller, AuthorsDen.com Management and their Staff members will have for ever a place of gratitude in our hearts, because they cared as we do for the well being of our authors family.
With thanks from the Help Panel
