Kickstarter Friday
Some Fiction Campaigns That Are Worth Studying and Backing… I do this every Friday when I have a few campaigns I think are worth putting here. Tonight three amazing campaigns.

And for those wondering where I get off judging Kickstarter Campaigns by fiction writers, I have now done 59 of them, every one funded and made money.

Do a Kickstarter At Any Point…
How Many Books Do I Need?… … Before I can think about doing a Kickstarter? I have gotten that question a bunch lately. For a while, I thought you needed a maybe ten or so books, but then a friend reminded me of a writer I saw do a Kickstarter with their first collection. First book ever, actually. And another writer wrote me and said they had done a Kickstarter with their very first book, a stand-alone novella. Both did great, built some readers, did more campaigns as they finished new books, and kept building readers and fans so that by the time they both reached that magical discoverability level…
