The adverb writing challenge was created to raise awareness of adverb over-usage, support authors and raise money for charity.
Every story submitted to the challenge is published, so writers can gain the experience of having their work edited and then see their stories distributed in print and eBook formats all over the planet.
Profits generated by sales of this book are donated to First Story, a charity that brings talented, professional writers into secondary schools serving low-income communities to work with teachers and students to foster creativity and communication skills.
