# # 📸 WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Penny Authors has always been about more than simply appearing in a book. It is about **encouragement, opportunity, visibility and supporting each other**.
Once you receive your copy, please remember to:
📸 **Send us a photograph of yourself with V12**
Your photograph can be used on your Penny Authors profile page and in future promotion.
🗳 **Send in your Top 5 favourite poems from V12**
We want to know which poems have connected with you and which pieces deserve further recognition and promotion.
🎥 **Record a video recital of your poem**
We want to continue building the Penny Authors YouTube channel and give more writers the opportunity to share their work in their own voice.
⭐ **Send us reviews and testimonials**
This is an area where Penny Authors needs your sincere and concerted support.
If Penny Authors has encouraged you, helped your confidence, given your writing a platform, helped you publish or simply made you feel your voice matters — **tell us!**
Your testimonials and reviews are evidence of what Penny Authors does and why it matters.
And here is the important part:
**The more Penny Authors grows, the more opportunities we can create for Penny Authors.**
