Help Author Publish - Publisher Went Bankrupt
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Bryce Nobles, and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency as my book, "Wake Upward," has encountered significant setbacks due to the bankruptcy of my former publisher, Scribe Media. Their actions have left me in a dire situation, with a loss of $40,000. I need your help overcoming these obstacles and bringing "Wake Upward" to life.
The sudden downfall of Scribe Media has shattered the dreams and financial security of over 600 authors, including myself.
However, I refuse to let these challenges extinguish the light of "Wake Upward." It is a book that challenges assumptions, encourages personal growth, and urges readers to embrace their authentic potential. It is a call to action, an invitation to break free from the confines of comfort zones and live a life of fulfillment. Through my own experiences and stories, I aim to inspire others to disrupt their narratives, face their trajectories, and recreate their maps.
To achieve this vision, I am launching a GoFundMe campaign with the goal of raising $5,000. Your contributions will help me recover from the financial losses incurred and cover the necessary expenses to independently publish "Wake Upward" and share its transformative message with the world.
I understand that times are challenging for many, and I am grateful for any support you can provide, whether through financial contributions or by sharing this campaign. Every act of kindness and belief in the power of storytelling brings me closer to my goal.
Throughout this journey, I am committed to transparency and accountability. I will keep you updated on the progress of "Wake Upward" and the impact it makes on readers' lives. Your trust and support mean the world to me, and I will do everything in my power to honor that trust.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can overcome the setbacks caused by Scribe Media's betrayal and ensure that "Wake Upward" becomes a source of inspiration and empowerment for all who need it.
