A lot of attention is often given to famous celebrities who are also philanthropists, but they are by no means the only ones doing good in the world. Quite a few bestselling authors are also putting the money that they have earned through their books to good use.

Amazingly, Meyer had never published any fiction prior to writing these books and according to her, she got the idea from a dream. The movies went on to gross billions at the global box office, which in turn fueled the sales of her books even more. Meyer has used the popularity of her books to assist charities, most notably the American Red Cross. She even released a new novella set in the same universe as the other Twilight books and donated $1 from the sale of each copy to the Red Cross.
