Worldbuilders Blog

There's a very special book, with a very special story. Not just the story that's within its pages (though, that story is highly recommended), but the story surrounding the book, how it came to be part of the Worldbuilders fundraiser, and how many lives it has touched in the past decade. Are you ready for the story of a book?

You've been seeing the smiling faces of children holding goats in a lot of our photos over the years. This year, we'd like to tell you exactly why we prefer those photos, and exactly who you see smiling at you in all of our promotional material this year. Her name is Shopna Khatun.

We have a number of charity auctions for Critiques and Tuckerizations, as well as a team page where you have a chance to win manuscript critiques in the lottery. But what exactly are they, and why would you want one? Read on!

Today, we attempt to let Heifer International explain a little about what they do and how, and we end up interrupting anyway because we're just too excitable about all of it.

Thanks to everyone who helped us use $150,000 in matching funds to get us to $300,000! Remember our last blog, where we introduced you to Farida Begum? Her life kept changing for the better, and we'd like to tell you how!

All our auctions are now live! Bid on cool stuff like books, gaming supplies, handmade art, manuscript critiques, and cameos in upcoming books. All the money we raise through these auctions will go to Heifer International, and everything we sell will go to a good home.

Did you know you can create a fundraising page just for you and your friends/family/supporters/fans/pets to team up to support Heifer International? We'll show you how, and best of all, everyone who donates through your page is still entered in the Worldbuilders lottery!
