Kickstarting a book is a no-brainer.
Why? Because when you crowdsource your project, you begin the process by finding your fans, which is the best way to become successful in the publishing world.
In this workshop, Heather Kelly and Kristen Wixted, editors and publishers at Pocket Moon Press, will take you step by step through the process of creating your successful Kickstarter campaign, from starting your email list, to developing enticing extras and prizes, to effectively telling your story on Kickstarter to push your campaign beyond fully funded.
Learn how to plan, prep, and design a successful Kickstarter campaign from start to finish! You'll come away with your own stylized calendar and individual plan. Pocket Moon Press successfully Kickstarted middle-grade project The Pterrible Pteranodon in 2021 and has mentored other successful Kickstarter projects.
