Life has a lot of firsts.
Your first kiss.
Your first house/apartment/hole in the wall.
Your first baby. (Which, by the way, we’re expecting in February.)
Before that, though, I’m experiencing another first: my first Kickstarter!
Tomorrow (Friday, October 6), I’m launching the Kickstarter campaign for Marrow and Soul. If you’re wondering why Kickstarter, let me lay out five quick reasons it’s better for readers and authors than Amazon.
Kickstarter takes a 10% fee from pledges vs. Amazon’s 35-70% share of every book sold.
Kickstarter lets authors control their own production and pricing.
Kickstarter lets authors sell extra goodies like bookmarks, stickers, and more.
Kickstarter lets readers access ebooks, audiobooks, and more free from Amazon/Audible’s industry stranglehold.
If you back a Kickstarter that doesn’t meet its funding goal, you don’t pay a cent.
Supporting the campaign is easy! Just create a free account, then visit my campaign page.
GIVEAWAY TIME!
Yet another benefit of Kickstarter is the chance to fund some sweet limited editions. These gorgeous books will feature:
Full-color, full-page illustrations (at least five, with hopes for more);
Stunning indigo-blue cloth hardcovers;
And, if we can get enough backers, gold foil stamping on the front cover and spine.
You can enter a giveaway for a FREE limited edition if you’re on Instagram. You just have to follow @addisonhornerauthor, share the below post to your stories, and tag two friends in the comments.
LIVE, IN A LIMITED ENGAGEMENT
On Friday, October 6, at 10:45 am Eastern time, I’m going live on Instagram with fellow author Amanda Auler to launch the Kickstarter campaign on camera! Join us as we talk about Marrow and Soul, randomly draw the giveaway winner, and celebrate my first-ever Kickstarter!
See you tomorrow!
