Authors Alliance Launching in San Francisco

by Laura Dawson
Bowker | Tue Apr 29, 2014

On May 21, 2014, the Authors Alliance will hold a kick-off meeting at the Berkeley Center for New Media. From their announcement:

Authors, construed broadly to include all creators, create for all sorts of reasons. In academia in particular, it is not uncommon to write and create primarily for the specific purpose of being read, seen, and heard.

Unfortunately, many institutions and much of the law and policy that are meant to foster our creative culture are geared toward other interests. The Authors Alliance seeks to find a new balance that gives voice to authors who prioritize public access to their work. Founded by four members of the Berkeley faculty, we are an independent nonprofit organization launching this May. Our mission is to further the public interest in supporting authors who create in order to be read, seen and heard.

If you happen to be in the San Francisco area, this might be worth checking out.
