One Day In!

posted on April 29, 2009

So, folks, it's been about 24 hours since I've made this page, and I must say I am amazed by the response so far. 169 dollars! Pretty unimaginable, eh?

The Awl has given Kickstarter a write-up: http://www.theawl.com/2009/04/you-can-be-a-patron-of-the-arts-for-one-dollar

Guess who the poster-boy is?

If anyone wants a copy of my first novel early, shoot me an e-mail at brendan (dot) mackie (at) gmail (dot) com and I will send you the PDF.

If you like it, why don't you tell your friends about this project? Perhaps--maybe--they might pledge some cash, too.

Yours,

Brendan

I will become your personal writing monkey for a month. I will write anything you want, every day. Short stories, poems, college or high school essays, blog posts, grant applications, screenplays, your biography, the biography of your cat, homemade ghost stories for the kids, anything. I can just help with research, even. If you don't have any preference for what written material you want on a given day, I will just write something I think you will find amusing. I will also be your penpal, and be available for phone-calls whenever. The only limitation is that the work can't exceed four hours each day. And of course you get the books. Think of what your friends would say! They’d be pretty jealous, I think!
