Win a Set of 10 Faulkners, Joe Hill to Contribute, and a New Backer Level!
Hello, START HERE backers,
First things first, thank you for helping us get START HERE off to such a rockin’ start! We hit more than 10% of our goal on the first day, and we now have nearly 30% of it. We’re so happy, we’re doing muppet arms.
Take a moment to visit our START HERE Kickstarter page and share it again with your social networks. Getting the word out is the best way to make it a success. Once you’ve shared the link, leave a comment here to be entered to win a set of 10 William Faulkner books from Vintage/Anchor.
And we have some happy-making news for you!
Author Joe Hill has signed on as a START HERE contributor to write a chapter about Bernard Malamud! As if that’s not awesome enough, he’s also offered three sets of signed first editions of his books Locke & Key and Heart-Shaped Box in support of the project. They’re available as a reward at our new $120 backer level, open to the first three comers. If you’ve already backed the project and want this awesome prize, just up your pledge to $120 and claim it!
Finally, we’ve added a new backer level at $55 that gets you the ebook of START HERE and two copies of the print edition.
We’re in the process of bringing on more fantastic contributors and can’t wait to share them with you. Rock on, readers, rock on.
