AuthorsDen has created the AD 1436 non-profit organization to further the mission of revolutionizing the publishing industry, while connecting youth with the power of creative writing.  The organization supports schools, teachers and students with a new, innovative approach to publishing, while connecting students with published authors who serve as project mentors. The goal is three-fold; provide the youth with a creative outlet that encourages teamwork, promotes leadership and ownership; develop writing skills that are critical to success in today’s workplace and; gives schools an on-going fundraising/revenue stream through the book sales of the student created books.
