Following the news of the terrible events in the Philippines author Keris Stainton has set up the Authors for the Philippines auction to raise money for the Red Cross Typhoon Haiyan Appeal. Back in 2011 she was behind the highly successful Authors for Japan appeal raising £13,000 following the tsunami, so hopes to repeat the feat.

There are already some amazing lots on offer, with more to be added. Bidding opened at 8am and will close again at 8pm on Wednesday 20th November.

If you are an author who would like to donate an item for auction, please email authorsforphilippines@gmail.com
