More than 4,200 books faced censorship last year, marking a 65% increase from the previous year, according to the American Library Association (ALA). This surge in censorship occurs while the average full-time author earns only $10,000 annually. Allstora aims to change this by providing enrolled authors with 100% of the profits from individual book sales. Join us as we sit down with Adam Powell, who co-founded Allstora with Eric Cervini and the legendary RuPaul Charles. We'll discuss how this innovative company is empowering underrepresented authors and combating LGBTQIA+ discrimination.
