Be sure to open and read your weekly email and check our Writers Group page on Facebook frequently to stay on top of potential opportunities. Our content is available to you to share across your own author platform, including, social media, blog, website, and reader newsletters.

Introducing Our Newest Author

Anthony Copeland-Parker writes

Running All Over the World; Our Race Against Early-Onset Alzheimer's

After life-altering diagnoses which would sideline most people to the security of their home and an easy chair, Anthony Copeland-Parker and his partner Catherine decide to push every boundary and live a life beyond full...instead to overflowing.

Anthony writes:

Just like the attitude Catherine takes towards running a marathon, she takes when it comes to her diagnosis of Early Onset Alzheimer’s. She just puts her head down, puts one foot in front of the other, and never gives up. Catherine’s resilience or reserve is anything athletic, so we combine that with our love of travel. Catherine has completed 83 marathons, one Iron Man Competition, a 50 miler Ultra Marathon and many races and triathlons of various distances.

During our years as nomads, we've pushed our physical and mental limitations as often as we could - and we finished every race hand in hand.

Start Networking: Join our Author Directory

AlzAuthors was founded for three authors to cross promote their dementia books so readers could better find them. This blossomed over six years into a network of 300+ authors spreading information about Alzheimer’s and dementia awareness and our own stories, books, blogs and other resources. As a contributor to AlzAuthors, you have the ability to connect with these authors to help cross promote your own work. Our directory makes it easy to find promo partners to help with blogging opportunities, newsletter swapping, social media shares, special events, and more. Inclusion in the directory is voluntary. If you would like to be available to others looking for partners please upload your contact information and links to your platform to the spreadsheet found here. This is a collaborative effort. Please do not share this document with others outside our network.
