Kickstarter Friday
A Number of Fiction Kickstarters Every Friday…
I only list the campaigns I like and that I think would be worth studying for writers thinking of doing a campaign. Send me your campaign if you want me to consider listing it here.
Fae-Blessed Deluxe Special Edition Fantasy Hardcovers by Momentum Media and Publishing.
Fantasy romance special editions. This has great story (with voice), good illustrations, gifs, and art all the way. And the awards are good ones if you are interested in this type of book. This funded and is doing well.
This one would be worth studying and backing if you like romantic fantasy with voice.

Unbreak My Heart: 3 Second-Chance Romances by Kathryn Kaleigh.
Three great romance novels also put into a 3 book omnibus. If you are a fan of all kinds of romance and not been reading Kathryn Kaleigh, you are in for a fantastic treat. I love her books.
Kathryn always does very clean and clear and attractive Kickstarter Campaigns that are worth studying. And her awards are always good. You really might want to take this campaign and discover one of the great romance writers working. You won’t be sorry. Trust me.

Favored by the Goddesses: Full-Color Hardback Edition by R.S. Kellogg.
A really nice and clean-looking campaign, easy to read, with fun rewards. The book that is the focus is beautiful as well and you can clearly see what is included.
This will fund because it is close and has a bunch of time left. But it shows a problem that no matter how beautiful you can make a special edition book, unless you have a large fan base that likes special edition books, even the most attractive Kickstarter campaign will be a tough go. Take a look.
So much better for writers to give readers books to read in campaigns, not to collect. The market is about a hundred times larger.

FOUR THRILLERS by Dean Wesley Smith
Okay, to show you I know what I am talking about, take a look at the Kickstarter campaign I have going on right now. It is for four thrillers that I published a dozen years ago and they now have new covers. Bright colors, very easy to read story with lots and lots of art and a lot of awards that fit thrillers.
Notice the section headers. Notice the size of the books in the story. And notice that everyone who backs this at any level gets the four thrillers in ebooks.
Now granted, I have done 54 campaigns, every one funded quickly, which is what Kickstarter likes in a campaign so they will help you with promotion.
Take a look to study and I hope find something you want to back.
