Writing for a Cause This Holiday Season!

Dec14
2012
Rochee Jeffrey Written by Rochee Jeffrey

Through the end of the year, freelance writers with Demand Media Studios will have their fingers to the keyboard in hopes of providing new books to kids in need. The writers, whose articles are often featured by the likes of eHow.com, LIVESTRONG.com and other content partners, are able to give back this holiday season thanks to Demand’s Write for a Cause campaign.

Write for a Cause, first launched in December of 2009, awards one book to First Book for every 10 articles published by Demand Media Studios’ league of contributing writers. This week, however, every 10 articles published will help provide TWO new books thanks to a match from First Book’s generous publishing partners. Hooray!

Help us encourage Demand’s freelance writers by sharing a motivational comment below. We’ll be sure to pass on your messages throughout the week via Twitter.

“Write for a Cause” with Demand Media Studios Goes Back to School

Sep09

Written by admin

In August, the Demand Media Studios community teamed up with First Book to provide 15,149 brand new books to children from low-income families through the “Write for a Cause” program. For every eight articles that writers and editors at Demand Media Studios created, the company funded one new book through First Book. In just 18 days of writing for a cause, the team created a whopping 121,192 articles.

During the past year, three “Write for a Cause” campaigns have funded more than 40,000 books for kids who need them most. A big thank you goes out to the Demand Media Studios team for being a committed partner in our battle against illiteracy!
