Cocktales: The Cocky Collective is coming out for a limited time, and we have all the details on this fun anthology! Take a look at this incredible list of contributing authors!
What is the Cocktales Anthology? Well, if you’ve been around Romancelandia in the last month or so, you’ve heard that the word “cocky” has been trademarked, and anyone using that word could face legal issues by the author who has trademarked it.
Silly, right? Trademarking a word because it’s your “brand”? Girl, bye. We don’t have time for that! So, in true solidarity, the romance community came together to shade the hell out of this author. Let’s be real honest, it’s what she deserves. #ByeFaleena
That’s how the Cocktales Anthology was born!
Cocktales, a limited-release anthology of original, never before published material, from some of your favorite bestselling authors is coming May 26th!
Each story was specifically written for this anthology. The goal of the Cocktales Anthology is to raise funds to fight against obstruction of creative expression. Specifically, what we believe are obstruction attempts through the trademarking of common (single) words for titular use in books / or as a book series (eBooks, print, and audio).
Cocktales will only be available May 26th-August 26th. {Via Social Butterfly}
How does this anthology help? Well, the proceeds are going to a great cause!
All net profits will be donated to:
Authors already impacted by creative-obstruction (10%), and Romance Writers of America (RWA) (90%) as a general donation intended for their Advocacy Fund.
*Disclaimer: This anthology is not being conducted on behalf of RWA, nor does RWA endorse this anthology or effort. They have, however, graciously agreed to accept the funds.
