Product Description
In an unprecedented publishing move, the world’s leading writers are coming together to publish the first chapters of their new, unpublished work in a single volume entitled NEW BEGINNINGS. All proceeds of this unique venture will be going to Save the Children Tsunami Relief Fund.
"I think the anthology is a great idea. The British public have been impressively generous in the early days after the disaster. Unfortunately, given the scale of the destruction, that generosity needs to be long-term, and many charities are worried that "charity fatigue" will set in. The anthology is a way of nudging people to continue giving over the long-term. Of course the book will sell when it is published in March, but hopefully it will continue to sell for months and months, providing funds for people on a long-term basis."- Tracy Chevalier
"It is a privilege to be in a position to offer our services in the name of such unfathomable need and it has been heartening to witness the quick and universal support of authors, publishers, agents, and booksellers." - Karen Rinaldi, Bloomsbury USA Publisher and Editorial Director
