CREATIVE PEOPLE OF ALL TYPES, AGES AND SKILLS ARE INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROJECT
"Hi friends. I wrote and narrated a children's story about the pandemic experience. Honestly, I wrote it for myself therapeutically, but it’s possible that a kid might dig it. BREAKING THE CURSE is a kid-friendly COVID fable. Essentially, the little kid in me has been pretty freaked out lately, so I thought I’d write a story he might like to hear. Maybe some other kid might like to hear it too."
-Adam Kenneth Wilson, actor and narrator "I am a father of five young kids and am a teacher. Self quarantine, infection, mask wearing...world events are terrifying for us all. We have to remember that our kids need a safe way to learn about this new normal. Adam's fable is touching, warm, generous, and, most importantly, infused with hope. I hope you can contribute to this project."

HOW MUCH WILL I BE PAID? We wish we could pay people but we are just regular folks wanting to make something impactful to families, who want to give back to the doctors, nurses, teachers, delivery drivers, restaurant workers, retailers, first responders and other front-line COVID warriors working to make our world safe. This short audio book is for all the familie directly impacted by the virus and for the kids who are nervous or scared about this new world. If future projects using some or all of this content generate income, all revenues will be equally distributed amongst contributors based on incremental use. For example, if a creator's work is used for 10% of a hardcover book and the book generates $1000 in net profit, that creator will earn $100.
