make it happen stories – Who is behind this?

Why did defiance boil up?
Because in the movie, some people thought they could invent the world and no one would ever find out. No one would ever challenge them. No one would ever come up with a new story.

WHO

is behind the MAKE IT HAPPEN STORIES and the MARATHONS?

That would be me, Charlie Alice Raya, which is my pen name and also the name I use exclusively these days. For my legal name take a look at the legal notice.

While I initiated the Make it happen stories and the marathons and run them on my own at the moment, both are meant to become global projects with many creators, contributors, organisers and supporters.

WHO

pays for this?

Presently, I pay for everything. The biggest expenditure at the moment is my time.

I welcome support. Financial support to pay for my work and for my expenses, a budget to set up a team and pay creators, a budget to publish collections of story snippets, and a budget to support the establishment of the book stations network, ripples publishing and pepper books.
