Shadow Forest Authors

A call to all authors, readers and supporters of literacy.

Shadow Forest Authors is a fellowship of authors and supporters for charity. Our mission is to get authors from around the world and from all genres to unite with SFA and participate in donating books and e-books to selected beneficiaries, literary foundations who fill a much needed void in books around the world.

Unbeknown to many, illiteracy issues cost billions a year in higher consumer prices due to the cost of recruiting and training functional illiterates, mistakes and inabilities in the workplace, for juvenile delinquency and crime directly related to illiteracy. In addition; social stigma, medical and pharmaceuticals with high rates of depression and suicide. Illiterates suffer self-worth, relationship, unemployment and social issues. Worldwide, this massive problem receives little funding or attention and as stated, costs billions.

SFA invites authors to get listed and participate in this worthy cause. All we ask is that authors donate a copy of their title to a SFA beneficiary of their choice:
The Australian Literacy & Numeracy Foundation – Australia
Book Aid International – U.K
Got Books Inc – U.S.A
Adult Reading Assistance Scheme – New Zealand
The World Public Library – U.S.A
Read Between the bars, Tucson’s books to prisoners program
The Women’s Prison Book Project – USA
Mission Australia
Prison Book Program – USA
Books To Prisoners – USA
My One School Inc – USA
More beneficiaries are added each month.

Participating authors receive a mention on the SFA site and the chance to sell further books via our unique supporter program.

Get listed now on Shadow Forest Authors.

Be part of the mission to stop illiteracy worldwide.

Help answer the question about author

What are the rights of an author of an article in a professional journal?
When an academic or professional journal publishes an article, what are the rights of the author, assuming there is no payment or fee involved?

Is this determined by copyright law or is there typically a written publishing agreement – a contract – between the author and the journal?

If this is governed by a contract, is there a standard custom for the terms of this agreement?

What rules apply if there is no written agreement? Who owns the copyright and the reprint rights – the journal or the author?

Thanks.
