Final figures are now in!
– We sold 97 ebooks and 285 paperbacks
– After legal deposit, 11 paperbacks remained unsold. We donated one to the Red Cross and ten to the Christchurch Writers’s Fesitval
– We raised a total of $4,132.00 for the Red Cross Earthquake Appeal
With the cheque en route to the Red Cross, this project is now at an end. Thank you for coming on this journey with us; we’ve learned and experienced a lot, and are grateful to all who donated their work, bought copies, promoted the anthology, and provided support and encouragement along the way.
The New Zealand Red Cross is offering a number of grants to Cantabrians, including help for heating damaged houses, relocating and storing belongings, and for costs associated with injury and disability, so we have no doubt that this donation will be put to good use.
Once again, thank you for being part of this.

This is fantastic news for Canterbury and NZ authors. I purchased a copy of the book to help raise funds. What an awesome effort. Congratulations to Anna Caro and Cassie Hart for all their efforts!
