Kickstarter Friday
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.
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.
And for those wondering where I get off judging Kickstarter Campaigns by fiction writers, I have now done 57 of them, every one funded and made money. My first campaign was in the very early days of Kickstarter. But if yoy are going to study campaigns that I have done, study the last year or so. I am continuing to learn.
And like some people browse and waste time on Facebook, I browse and waste time looking at campaigns on Kickstarter.
SOMETHING TO HELP YOUR CAMPAIGN…
I am doing a Kickstarter mentorship.
That’s right, one-on-one, I will help you build and launch a book kickstarter in the next three or four months (or whatever works for your timeline) that will fund, and get you readers for your books, then I will continue to help you with how to fulfill the campaign.
Fear stopping you. Or just not getting around to it. I can be the engine and deadlines that get you going and you can start any time in the new year with any project.
And then in the following six months I will help you with a second campaign. You will have two successful campaigns from this and have the confidence to keep doing more. (I will of course be around to answer questions.)
So afraid of doing a Kickstarter? Can’t pull the trigger? Or just want to do it right?
I have done 57 of them successfully and will work with you personally, one-on-one to help you launch a campaign that will fund. And then fulfill and launch a second one, fund, and fulfill.
Basically I will be your private Kickstarter instructor. I plan on learning a lot and having a blast, and helping you realize how much fun campaigns are as well.
Cost is $1,000 fee for my mentorship. Simply send the fee to PayPal and use the email dean@wmgpublishingstore.com. We can start with your first one any time you would like, and at this point, we can slowly put it together to be ready for next year. Questions, just write me.
Now To This Week’s Spotlighted Book Kickstarters…
A Shadow Full of Stars: A Mind-Bending Fantasy Novel by Rob Cornell

Bones & Shadow Series Deluxe Special Editions by JC Andrijeski
If you are thinking about doing a complex fantasy set of books with a ton of art and really pretty editions, this is one to study. Not my kind of fiction at all, and I tend to not buy the really pretty books, even though I read paper, but Julie has done a really extensive campaign here.
Tons of art, game-like art that fit this world and could easily be made into a game in short order. Really, really well done and it is doing very well. So if you like this kind of fantasy from a very good writer, you won’t go wrong here.

There is one campaign I think is good, and I would have backed, but shipping is estimated and charged later and I have one set rule about Kickstarters. I never back anything where I have to get out my credit card twice. You either charge me the shipping with the reward or you don’t get my backing.
