All 40 authors who have penned stories for From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back have agreed to donate their fees to charity.
All participating authors have generously forgone any compensation for their stories. Instead, their proceeds will be donated to First Book—a leading nonprofit that provides new books, learning materials, and other essentials to educators and organizations serving children in need. To further celebrate the launch of this book and both companies’ longstanding relationships with First Book, Penguin Random House will donate $100,000 to First Book and Disney/Lucasfilm will donate 100,000 children’s books—valued at $1,000,000—to support First Book and their mission of providing equal access to quality education.
This is a very generous gesture from all involved and all proceeds are going to a great cause!
The book is scheduled to be released later this fall on November 10 and can be pre-ordered right here.from
