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 60 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.
NEW THIS WEEK..
Three Killer Monster Sci-Fi Thrillers! by Vincent Zandri
Are you’re a fan of Godzilla, Jaws, or even Snakes on a Plane? Then this Kickstarter is for you!
This is a very short campaign for three monster thrillers. They look fun, the campaign is well done. It has already funded with five backers and only five days to go. A perfect-sized campaign for this time of the year. Check it out, worth studying and backing.

STILL GOING…
FIVE SCIENCE FICTION COLLECTIONS by Dean Wesley Smith
Fifty Science Fiction Short Stories in Five Brand New Collections by New York Times Bestselling Writer Dean Wesley Smith!
This is my 60th Kickstarter campaign and we already have a “Project We Love” from Kickstarter. Really cool. This the start of me getting out a bunch of my short stories finally. The base of this campaign is five science fiction 10-story collection. But there is a featured reward that you can get five more science fiction collections. And then in this, all the stretch goals will be brand new science fiction collections. And we are about to hit the first stretch goal!! So another collection for everyone.
My introduction on how this all came about. So much fun to see so many of my short stories finally see the light of publishing day after all these years.
And there are two really great special workshops in this one as well, worth taking a look at. I will talk about them more in a few days.
