Publetariat - Spare a Dollar

April Hamilton runs Publetariat - a website pretty much dedicated to helping those who wish to self-publish.  There is a lot of useful information on that site and almost everyone who considers going indie finds themselves there.  April's had a tough year, first she was diagnosed with breast cancer, her husband left her (which led to the end of their family run business) and now, the bank is about to foreclose on her mortgage which could leave her and her children homeless.  April posted a plea on Publetariat - if anyone can spare even a dollar, it could help keep her afloat for a bit.

The thing is, if April loses her home then Publetariat will be no more but it is and has been a great resource for us.  If anyone has ever found information, help or advice on Publetariat then please consider pitching in - be it donations or spreading the word.  April Hamilton has made my life easier more than once, that deserves more than a dollar.

    Thanks very much for sharing this with your audience. Whether through a donation or just spreading the word, the indie community is really coming through for me on this, and I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Here's to 2011, and better things.
