Add Your Book to the List

If you have a published book that you would like to share with others, contact  and we will upload it to our list. This is a free benefit for FAWCO members.

Authors’ Speakers Bureau

Every book club would love to have the opportunity to meet the authors of their selection, to hear first hand about their inspirations, their writing process and what they learned from their own work. This may be possible! Contact

Beta Readers Group

One of a writer’s greatest challenges is getting honest and constructive feedback, especially for a completed and edited work that you are not sure is ready to submit to a publisher. This is when the beta reader comes into the picture. The beta reader reads the finished book and gives the author an overall critique, addressing such questions as: does the story flow, are there inconsistencies or repetitions, is it engaging and believable, are the characters compelling? A beta reader doesn't need to be a writer herself or a specialist in the genre. The main qualification is a passion for good literature and a commitment to providing serious, but loving advice. 

The LioL team would like to help out our writers by organizing a group of beta readers. If you are interested, either as a reader or a writer, email to .

Welcome!

Literacy Is Our Legacy is a vibrant community dedicated to supporting our member authors and aspiring writers alike. We serve as a testament to FAWCO’s enduring commitment to literacy and our collective passion for the written word.

This devotion to literature is woven into the very fabric of FAWCO, reinforcing each of our four primary pillars: education, human rights, the environment and health. From the stories we write to the books we read, our passion for words connects the entire FAWCO global community.

    • Highlight and recognize the published authors in our clubs.
    • Encourage and engage authors who write for the love of it.
    • Empower aspiring writers in workshops, panels or discussion groups.
    • Reinforce FAWCO’s commitment to literacy through our Global Issues Teams.
