    The Good, The Bad, The Ugly Kickstarters…

    Oh, No, I Got a Question… Yup, got a question after yesterday’s Kickstarter Friday post and this question was pretty simple with no real simple answer. Question: “Why do I not promote fiction Kickstarters focused mainly on pretty books?” My base response is that no one reads really beautiful, pretty books with all the bells and art and colored edges and white ink on black paper and so on and so on. When done by a real designer with fantastic illustrations, these books can be works of art. And not one person will ever read the book. It will remain as a collector’s item gathering dust or sold to other…

    Some Fun Campaigns I Think Work… I’ve been doing this every Friday now for a long time. And it certainly has been fun studying Kickstarters. I look for fiction campaigns that are not just about “pretty books” but actually want readers. I look for clarity in the campaign, meaning can I figure out what the hell is offered. I look for a good story that flows and good art. I do not bother with anyone who is so flipping lazy as to us AI in any part of their campaign. And I look to see if the campaign will fund or if they writer behind the campaign asked for far…

    Some Campaigns I Think Are Worth Backing Or Studying Or Both! I do this every Friday when I have a few campaigns I think are worth putting here. Wow is this a slow time for campaigns. I will not say much negative about a campaign. If there is too much or it is going to fail, I won’t post it here. Also, I am not posting campaigns that are only for very pretty books. They are not good examples to study and unless you are a collector of the genre or author, not worth backing. And for those wondering where I get off judging Kickstarter campaigns by fiction writers, I…

    Two Mentorships Available…

    Kickstarter and Sales Mentorships… Have not mentioned these in months because I had no room, but now I have two in the Kickstarter mentorship and two in the sales mentorship, both because writers are finishing up. Kickstarter Mentorship… I have done 60 successful Kickstarters and I will walk you through every step and make sure you fund and also help you fulfill the campaign when over. And then do it again. Two campaigns. Kickstarter can be scary for some, easy one you get going for others. The key is to learn how to do Kickstarters for your fiction that fund and promote you work. So you make a little money…
