Kickstarter Countdown
Attention bibliophiles and fantasy aficionados! I'm
really excited to announce that while I have been banging out pages of my book,
The Evenarian, I am also getting ready to launch a Kickstarter campaign to help
get the book edited and shopped around to publishers.
It seems like just yesterday that The Evenarian
was just a twinkle in my eye and now it’s really happening!
While I’m the one giving my sweat and tears, I
am asking for just a little help from my supporters in order to get this book
to print.
On November 1, I will launch the KICKSTARTER campaign with
a goal of raising $5,000 (and have hopes of surpassing that in the 30 days that
the campaign is live).
In order to reach (and hopefully shoot past
this goal) I need help from everyone who believes that more creative,
page-turning literature should be out in the world.
Since I have friends, family and supporters of
all different means, there are many different levels of contribution that can
be made (from a single buck to a $3,000 bracket – each with rewards to boot!)
to bring The Evenarian to fruition.
Since November is just around the corner, I
want to keep the buzz going so the Kickstarter gets a big first week and the
momentum propels this book into everyone’s hands as soon as possible.
Word of mouth and excitement will help make this
book more than just a few million letters on my hard drive.
Since November is national novel writing month,
I couldn’t think of a more fitting time to get this project closer to completion.
In the coming days and weeks, I will be posting some great blogs, asking for
feedback and giving shout-outs to all those that pledge to support The
Evenarian. (Hopefully I’ll be shouting out to all of you.)
Until the Kickstarter campaign is live, I am
asking everyone to share my Facebook fan page with other avid readers and
people that love to support original content so “like,” blog, join the Facebook event, comment, retweet
and pledge!
More about The Evenarian:
The Evenarian is a fantasy novel-in-progress,
inspired by the works of George R.R. Martin and Neil Stephenson. It takes place
in a medieval world of magic, kings, ancient tribes and empires. It's also
world on the verge of a massive change—a change that must be stopped at all
costs. The world is held together by a monastic system of cloisters where the
Seekers of Truth study history, prophecy, healing, warfare and, of course,
magic. As the characters navigate a dangerous, politically-charged landscape,
they find themselves confronted with not just the realities of their own
journey, but questions about the nature of truth itself.
