For those of you who know Anne Rice, she’s been a beacon of hope and a heroine in the fight against online bullying, in particular, the online bullying of authors. Just recently she posted a of her intention to publish a pamphlet describing her experience with the online bullies she encountered while posting in the Amazon fora. Of course, we all know who these bullies are. We’ve been warning people about them for three years now. What’s great about this pamphlet is that it will continue to spread the word about the dangers of certain online hangouts for authors. After all, to protect them, education (and thus prevention) is the key. Below is a screenshot of her post.
We encourage all authors, Amazon customers, or anyone else who has been bullied online to share your stories with her. You can contact her through her or email .
Thank you, Anne, for giving authors this opportunity!
