That's not crazy, it's a valid question.
The charity factor is definitely high, but it's basically a way for previously unpublished authors to be included in a large project. I've seen it done before with Romance writers groups, that they'll pay a fee (way larger than I'm asking), to have their works added to a collection.
The book creates longevity for the event, so not only do the pledges fund this year's walk, but the sale of the book funds future events.
This morning I was contacted by a print publisher who is interested in working with us on getting this in hard copy, not just digital as originally intended. So that's pretty exciting.
