#PubForPR

“#PubforPR has come together to create an auction to benefit Puerto Rico’s relief efforts after hurricane María. All funds raised will go directly to Unidos por Puerto Rico and ConPRmetidos, two carefully vetted local charity organizations.

Hundreds of talented authors, editors, illustrators, and literary agents have joined together in offering their time, talent, and treasure to support Puerto Rico. Through this auction, you can bid on signed book bundles, personalized artwork, one-on-one conversations with editors or agents, and hundreds of other prizes. The premise is simple: bid early and often, win and donate, claim your prize.”

Authors, editors, illustrators, and literary agents, uniting to collect and give money directly to Puerto Rican organizations through literary-themed auctions: PubforPR is a fabulous way to join other literary folks in the publishing industry to support the Puerto Rican relief efforts.
