Kickstarter progress
29 December 2014
My Kickstarter campaign was the featured project in Publishing over the weekend, and it’s still up – I guess I’m benefitting from the holiday, which is pretty cool. We’ve passed $2,000!
We’re almost halfway to the stretch goal of $4,500, which would allow me to do an actual print run instead of print-on-demand – so the money goes to a local printer instead of Amazon, and we’ll have more money for advertising/promotion/etc. Upper Rubber Boot Books is ending 2014 with three dollars in our bank account (no kidding) so this is a HUGE boost for us and I’m so grateful for everybody’s support (and the many shares of my statuses about the campaign, so helpful in getting the word out!). I’m sure the authors will enjoy getting a larger royalty check too!
This morning, we’ve added a new reward level!
COMBO & COACHING for $100
Receive a mobi (ebook for Kindle) or ePub (ebook for Nook, iPad, Kobo, most other e-readers) version of the book, a month before the general public, AND a copy of the print version as soon as it’s available. (If – and only if – we reach our stretch goal, you’ll get it before the official release date.)
ALSO, receive a 1:1 coaching session with writing coach, author and anthology contributor Minal Hajratwala to work on your creative goals, blocks and strategies. Suitable for all genders & genres. Available anywhere in the solar system via Skype. $155 value.
If you’ve already donated, you can increase your previous pledge and change to this reward.
This pledge level is limited to 3 people.
