Impact Summary from the Nonprofit

We published a book, A CURIOSITY OF CATS, in 2001. This was a collection of 29 of the best stories we received from 153 writers who entered our cat story contest. We have plans to publish more such conventional books (if funds permit). In the often confusing world of internet publishing we offer writers a safe and free venue for sharing their work with the world.

Leadership

Mr. Richard Loller

Term:

Since Jan 2009

Profile:

In 1976 Richard Loller was a book editor with Abingdon Press. He founded the Preservation Foundation that year to publish and preserve worthy but limited market nonfiction works, especially biographies. A career change delayed the realization of this goal, but in 1993 our first book was published and in 1997 we opened "Writer's Showcase," a web site for previously unpublished writers. A successful book project was completed in mid-2001 and others are planned for the future.

Leadership Statement:

<div>We incorporated as a not for profit publisher in 1976. Our aim is to encourage and preserve limited market works, primarily biographies, autobiographies, and other nonfiction. We are neither a commercial publisher nor a 'Vanity Press." There are no charges for our services. Our web site has been active since 1997.  We now display over 2000 stories from over 500 writers from around the world  We published a book, A CURIOSITY OF CATS, in 2001. This was a collection of 29 of the best stories we received from 153 writers who entered our cat story contest. We have plans to publish more such conventional books (if funds permit). We believe that the true stories of 'ordinary' people, as recorded by them or someone close to them, will provide valuable source material for future scholars as well as instructive and pleasurable reading for others. Our reason for being is to encourage such writers and to preserve their works for future generations. </div>
