When Conversations Book Club began its literary journey in November 2006, it was with the mission to encourage reading and discussions among individuals of all ages and races. As of June 2008, the organziation has hosted over 50 authors to date---at no charge to any attendees, giving book lovers the opportunity to meet and greet with some of the world's most influential players in the publishing world.
In March 2008, Conversations Book Club began a groundbreaking new project: HIPHOP AND BOOKS (http://www.hiphopandbooks.com and http://www.myspace.com/hiphopandbooks) . It's mission is to take the influence of the music industry and use it to encourage reading among those who might not find it enjoyable. A 25-state tour has been planned to criss-cross the nation with this initative, however, we are in need of your help.
With a project of this magnitude, there are expenses incurred such as travel, lodging and venues in each city and state. That is where you, as an author, come into play. You are being asked to donate $5.00 towards the work of the hiphop and books project. Our goal is to get 1000 authors between now and September 2008 to help us in this regard so that we are not hindered in reaching the places that are in need of our help.
After donating your $5.00 or whatever amount you are able to contribute, we ask that you then forward this email to other authors that may be interested in doing the same.
Such donations can be sent to us via Paypal by visiting the link below:
Thank you for your consideration and for helping us to continue the work that will help others throughout the country joined our addiction to books.
Cyrus A. Webb, President
Conversations Book Club/ Hiphop and Books Founder
