Dayton, Ohio – January 29, 2019 – Carol Madewell, Secretary/Treasurer of Stone Soup Community Press, Inc., announced today the distribution of their proceeds from operations during the 2018 Fiscal Year totaling $1,758.61.
Madewell explains, “Stone Soup Community Press receives individual donations, corporate donations and grants, and government grants to fulfill its mission to publish and support unique talent within the LGBTQ community. These donation enable us to offer our publishing, writing fellowship, and therapy café programs. Proceeds from these programs are then distributed to charities who demonstrate a strong commitment to improve the lives of those within our LGBTQ community.”
Stone Soup Community Press, Inc. 501(c)3 will donate $723.94 to the Golden Crown Literary Society Reader Scholarship, proceeds coming directly from the publication of The Velvet Anthology, edited by Fay Jacobs and Elizabeth Andersen, and the cover designed by Ann McMan. Contributing authors included Karin Kallmaker, Lee Lynch, Ann McMan, Stefani Deoul, MJ Williamz, Annette Mori, Cheryl Head, Cheyne Curry, Erica Abbott, and Donna K Ford. This project was the brainchild of Sue Fidler (aka. Velvet Lounger) of The Lesbian Reading Room for which the reader scholarship is named.

The publishing program directly supports talented authors, editors, cover artists, and vocal artists within the LGBTQ community through above-market royalty and rate contracts.
The writing fellowship additionally offers one talented writer each year an additional $3000 stipend to supplement the writer’s income throughout the writing and publishing process. This fellowship is open to all LGBTQ authors regardless of their current publishing status.
Therapy Café offers authors free access to a wide audience of potential readers to promote their works in a fun and engaging manner.
