Proceeds donated to ProLiteracy Worldwide

More than 20 authors from around the world have come together to share their favorite recipes and stories in their effort to combat illiteracy. Proceeds will be donated to the ProLiteracy Worldwide Organization, a charity that helps children and adults learn how to do something most of us take for granted and that is the ability to read.

According to the National Adult Literacy Survey, 42 million adult Americans can't read. Fifty million can recognize so few printed words that they are limited to a fourth or fifth grade reading level. One out of every four teenagers drops out of high school. Of those who do graduate, on out of every four has the equivalent or less of an eighth grade education. The situation is similar or worse all over the world.

With determination, we can fight this battle. It is through The Writersville Charity Cookbook: Recipes with Stories to Benefit Literacy Worldwide that the Writersville Gang, an online writing e-group, takes a stand against this curable disease. It is their hope that they reach at least one person in their fight against illiteracy. They believe they will win this battle, one word at a time.

And their friends who contributed....

Special thanks to Carlene Reed for her efforts in Public Relations and Kim Blagg, publisher of PageFree Publications and sponsor of the Writersville Charity Cookbook.
