Fully Booked EP132: When Publishing Meets Activism

In this week's episode of Fully Booked, Craig and Roland explore how publishing can provide an author with more than just readers and royalties. Special guest Ali Horriyat joins them to talk about Compassiviste, a groundbreaking non-profit organization he created that’s dedicated to driving social change by providing a platform for authors, artists, and other creative activists to share their work.

Ali’s own story is pretty remarkable. After a highly successful career in finance, Ali left it all behind to focus on bringing more compassion into the world, combining activism and the arts to inspire meaningful change through Compassiviste. Now, the unique publishing platform he created empowers authors and other creators whose voice has traditionally been suppressed by mainstream publishing platforms. 

Ali believes that books and other forms of art have always had a powerful impact on social movements, and that it’s essential to ensure everyone has an equal chance to tell their story and highlight their cause. So, if you believe the world needs more compassion and should focus less on profits and more on building a better, more sustainable future, be sure to tune in.
