Story

Writing Our World Back is set to be a global campaign that will bring light to every corner of the world. 

I am speaking now to the storyteller in all of us. My name is
Aron Thompson, author of a handful of novels (under a pen name), and I am also working towards publishing some new stories in my own name. writing isn’t a gift, it isn’t an academic, it’s a need. Everyone has something important to say but become caught in the idea of what writing isn’t. Words have so much power, so much light. We don’t write for any other reason than to express what we value, what
we see. So, d
on’t feel alienated by writing, writing is a joy we can all share.

Writing Our World Back will be the name of the book we will all create
together. To be a part of this, all you have to do is write one single page on anything you want, it can be on your favourite day, your favourite place to eat, even on your favourite pair of shoes, maybe even  the worst moment in your life, absolutely anything you want, that inspires you. Light your corner up, you don’t have to be a professional writer, I want it to be your voice, your own story. I’ll leave it up to you, if you want to add your own name or go under a pen name. Date the page
with when it was written, put where the page came from, example Paris/Hong Kong. Add your name/pen name, like you would when sending a formal letter, however you don’t have to stick to an exact style of formatting. Each writer will only be given a page but can write another under another donation. Maximum of three pages per person.(Note each page must be different from the last) Get creative, don’t worry about what others are writing, this is your page, speak out! 

Together we write a book as one.The book will be in English, I am accepting pages written in other languages, but please be aware my native language is English, so translating may take some time to provide an accurate translation of your page. Also, for ease, please make sure the page makes grammatical sense, unless your breaking writing a part on purpose. It will be first come, first serve. I will start editing the pages in the order I receive them, to send your page please email me on, aronthompsoncreative@gmail.com ,I accept all forms of documents, for ease you can even type your page out on email. To get your page published, you must also donate a cash sum to Raleigh International, a minimum of £3 is required, anything more would warm my heart, please also note the size of your donation does not make any difference on your page getting published. All profit if any that the book makes will also be donated to Raleigh. I must stress this book isn’t for financial gain or to have a single viewpoint. I’m sure the project will be full of contradiction and this is what we need. Not to argue, but to see were all in this together. I’ll finish by explaining why I need your donation. I’m volunteering in Tanzania, to help provide better education and give more opportunities to those less fortunate. I’ve been given a bracket of £800 to raise in order to secure my placement. I also hope this experience can take me a step closer to writing the book I've always wanted too write, a book on communication. The struggles on both sides of the economical bracket. I’ve been racking my brain on how I could do this and of course why not share the thing I love. If we pull this off, we can bring so many eyes to the power of writing. There I was writing about my own life, writing about my own struggles, when I forgot were all in this together. We all bleed, we all walk through pain, we all smile. The only way I’m going to get this point across is if you all help me. All donations are to be added to this page. 

Please keep in touch with me as well, talk to me about your page, let me know what it means, I’ll make sure to keep updating you on how the projects going, get your friends involved, get eyes on this, anyone who is an inspiring writer, anyone who isn’t but has something to say. One last thing please don’t grow frustrated with how long this may take, the more people you can get to be involved in this will help speed the process up. This may not even be ready till the end of the year but let’s do this right. Okay thank you, have a good day, Aron.
