Emmanuel Nataf, one of the founders of Reedsy here! If you don't know us, we're a community of 50,000 authors and freelance professionals. We started out 3 years ago. We're not a unicorn (and might never be one), but we've helped authors create over 2,000 high-quality books. Our objective is to inspire more people to follow their paths and share their stories with the world.
To do that, we decided to launch #IWriteBecause and ask famous writers why they write in short 1-minute videos. For every video we receive, we will donate $10 to Room to Read, a non-profit organization that seeks to provide girls in Africa and Asia with access to education.
To kickstart the campaign, we got about 40 influential writers to share videos with us, including David Heinemeier Hansson (NYT bestselling author of Rework and Remote), Mark Dawson (bestselling author of the John Milton assassin thriller series) and Hailey LeBlanc (BookTuber).
The result is pretty cool: https://reedsy.com/iwrite. Now, we're going to find out if we can reach our target of 1,000 videos and make a $10,000 donation to Room to Read.
