Sorry about the multiple postings, but I wanted to post a little about the Author Advocate Defense Fund.
I'll post Dawno's comments from AW. She has said it so much better than I can. You can also check out her blog for more information.
Dear fellow AW members,
On September 20, 2007 Barbara Bauer filed suit in New Jersey against a list of defendants, including several of our AW colleagues. Defending oneself against a lawsuit is expensive, and many of the author advocates being sued could use help to pay the many legal costs involved, which are adding up over these past 9 months.
I've set up a PayPal site where you can donate to help these writers with their legal fees. Any amount is welcome. Any fees assessed by PayPal will be covered, so your full donation goes to the legal defense fund. All funds will be disbursed directly to the defendant's attorneys in equal shares.
I hope you will click the link in my signature and donate today.
If you wish to put a similar link in your blog or on your website, please PM me with your email address and I'll send you the full HTML to put the donation button on your site.
You can also add a donation link to your signature, again, just PM me for the URL.
Thank you for your help!
Dawno
I give up with the friggin' link already! You'd think I had no HTML knowledge at all. You can donate via Dawno's blog (she has a functioning button), the AADF link, or you can just donate directly to authoradvocatedonations@gmail.com through Paypal.
