The John Scalzi Collection Returns to Humble Bundle, Supporting World Central Kitchen

Posted by John Scalzi

Starting today and going for the next three weeks or so, 22 of my books are up on Humble Bundle, and this time my selected charity is World Central Kitchen, which, true to the name, goes around the world, feeding people in disaster areas and war zones. They deserve the money! You deserve the books!

The titles in the bundle are mostly novels (including Starter Villain, appearing in a bundle for the first time), but there are a few shorter pieces as well. The bundle is for sure available in the US, and early reports are that it’s available in some but not all other places around the globe. Unrelated to the previous sentence entirely, I understand VPNs are pretty cool. There is no reason for me to have said that. It was a spontaneous utterance.

While World Central Kitchen is the designated charity this time out, and I encourage you to move the “Adjust Donation” sliders around when you get the bundle to make sure they are getting a good chunk of change from all y’all, I will note that 100% of my personal cut (which will come out of what’s sent to my publisher) is going to the Scalzi Family Foundation, which, as you may know, supports local charities and organizations as well as other endeavors. So there’s going to be a lot of charitable giving going on, however you manage the sliders.

Go check it out, fill out the gaps in your Scalzi collection, and if you do, thanks for supporting World Central Kitchen. They’re doing good work out in the world.

Here’s the link to the bundle page, one more time.
