Gay Author of the Year Makes Unique Offering to Youth First Texas
Reece Manley's "All Gays Go to Heaven" to Fund GLBT Youth Charity
ADDISON, Texas, May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- When Reece Manley set out to write All Gays Go to Heaven, his mind wasn't on winning awards. Instead he was simply trying to tell his story. "I'm delighted he's been noted, but not surprised," says Mary Ann Butcher, Reece Manley's agent for All Gays Go to Heaven. "Dr. Manley is a brilliant writer - funny one moment and then poignant the next. Even more exciting is his willingness to engage in this charitable act with Youth First Texas."
Youth First Texas is a GLBTQ Youth Support Organization serving youth everywhere when a crisis arises. "Gay youth are up to eight times more likely to commit suicide and even more frequently deal with severe issues of depression, isolation and self-esteem issues," says Reece Manley. "For these reasons, I wanted to do something never done before to benefit them."
Reece Manley has authorized the release of up to 400 galley collectible copies of his book All Gays Go to Heaven expressly for the benefit of Youth First Texas. Galley copies are usually the rough drafts sent to publishers, but the collectible galleys are in book format. "As far as I know, this is the first time an author has done this for a charity. It really shows the lengths Reece will go to create support for the GLBT community," says Ms. Butcher.
The galley collectible copies are available for $29.99 and will include a coupon for a free copy of the final published book. The galleys will be hand-inscribed, numbered and autographed. The proceeds of the sales will go directly to Youth First Texas. The author has also encouraged other gay and lesbian community leaders and business leaders to match his donation.
People who wish to respond to this opportunity to give and obtain a potentially very profitable gay collectible are asked to visit http://www.allgaysgotoheaven.com for full information or call 214-206-1607. The fundraising venture will end when all copies have been sold.
Reviewers wishing to obtain a copy of All Gays Go to Heaven may do so by writing [email protected].
