And I want you to understand the various issues at play for me as an author and a youth advocate. I didn\u2019t write this book to make money. I wrote this book to reach as wide of an audience as I possibly could. This desire to get as many people as engaged as possible drove every decision I made throughout this process. One of the things that drew me to Yale was their willingness to let me put a freely downloadable CC-licensed copy of the book online on the day the book came out. I knew that trade presses wouldn\u2019t let a first time author pull that one off. Heck, they still get mad at Paulo Coelho for releasing his books online and he\u2019s sold more books worldwide than anyone else!
