Letters of Support
​

Dear Bedside Reading family,
​
​
I wanted to take a moment to reach out to you all during these difficult times to offer some perspective and some hope as we confront what may be the greatest challenge we will face in our lifetimes. The simple fact we are all facing is that life as we know it has changed for the foreseeable future through a global pandemic we had no hand in creating and we are all grappling with a lack of control in the situation. In the blink of an eye our concept of what it means to be a successful author has been turned upside down as the conventional way we share our stories with readers has been completely disrupted. However, necessity is the mother of invention and innovations in the way we distribute our content are already being developed. Two of the common threads that bind us all at this point are that we are all facing this 

​
Since partnering with Bedside Reading in December of last year, I've come to know Jane as both a friend and a mentor in my efforts to promote my book as a first time author. I was initially impressed with her innovative approach to supporting her authors through distributing books on bedsides in luxury hotels nationwide and I was extremely excited to see the trajectory this had helped put my book on prior to March of this year. Yet I have been much more impressed and inspired by her ability to pivot in the face of adversity as well as by her unwavering support for her authors. Having served as mayor of Augusta, Georgia during the Great Recession I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges of providing calm, compassionate and encouraging leadership during the midst of a crisis. I truly believe this is exactly the type of leadership Jane is providing for us all during this critical juncture for our entire industry. In the midst of chaotic times, she has leaned into finding creative new ways to support her family of authors which I consider myself blessed to be a part of.
I have absolutely no doubt that we will all get through this together as the storms of life always pass. Please know how much I appreciate being connected to each of you during this season of life as your perseverance to continue to provide your readers with content to enrich their lives helps to reinforce my commitment to doing the same. The service you all provide is now more important than ever before and I know your readers are truly thankful for it.
 
Sincerely,
Deke Copenhaver, Author - The Changemaker
