Hi Everyone, Happy Monday! Today, most of the Western World is headed back to work after the Christmas Holidays and I can't think of a better time to build momentum for The 20 Project!
I have had quite a few inquiries about the project and contributors are popping out of the woodwork from various countries from around the world (awesome!). Here are a few commonly asked questions (and answers)...
I am not a writer... what do I have to contribute to something like this?
It doesn't matter if you are a writer or not! The better questions are; Are you successful in your own right with whatever path you have chosen? Are you happy? Have you made mistakes and learned from them? Has anyone ever asked you for advice? I know that we all have stories to tell and thoughts to contribute and everyone has a different path. It doesn't matter if you are a social worker, economics professor or Wall Street suit, everyone has had challenges and everyone has their own journey!
Am I going to make any money from this?
Maybe. The basic goal of this project is not to make money but to tell stories. We plan to self-publish the book using an online marketplace such as Lulu but to that end, the book may make $100 or $10,000 over the years. But the first, we need to cover our expenses (website, editing, and design work) and then we will equally share the profits.
What do I need to do to be a contributor?
Send me an email! With your name, a recent photo and blurb of why you want to be a contributor! I will add you to the Contributors Page and we are off to the races!
What are the expected deadlines?
Please see the very first post on this blog.
Thanks for your energy and enthusiasm! (and please 'like' us on Facebook!)
Cheers,
Hilary
