Hey there
Did you register for Indie Author Training's webinar this week yet? You won't want to miss this one...
Kickstarter for Authors
So we've all heard of Kickstarter, or more specifically the run away successes that some authors have had on the platform, but what can we realistically hope for in running a campaign as a newbie? How can we capitalize on what we've done so far? Well, who better to ask than the Head of Publishing?
Join Oriana Leckert tomorrow as we go beyond the 'how to' and look at the tips, tricks, and strategies behind successful literary crowdfunding campaigns. You'll learn about the benefits of building community and raising money through crowdfunding, the publishing landscape on Kickstarter, and the most important elements of building and running a project, illustrated with case studies from authors and publishers across the literary spectrum.
