Update #3: Success!

Posted on August 30, 2010

Because of you, the backers, my Kennedy Space Center Sunrises book project is go! Thank you so much for your contribution. In case you didn't get to see it, the local newspaper published a story about this project on Saturday's front page. You can read the article here: http://bit.ly/cwvZEw

Thank you for believing in me and my work. I am overwhelmed at the level of support for this project. Can't wait to see the final result!

Update #2: Project Status

Posted on August 25, 2010

Hello everyone, and once again, thank you all for backing my project. In case you are not aware, the project is now 108% funded, so it really is going to happen! I'm so excited and can't wait to get to work laying it all out for publication. There are still 3 days left in the pledge period- people can still back the book through Kickstarter until then, so be sure to spread the word.

On Monday, some representatives from the local newspaper came out to the Press Site at Kennedy Space Center to photograph me taking pictures of the sunrise. They also interviewed me for a story about this project that is supposed to run on Saturday. I will post an update with a link if the story is available online. It is you, the backers, who have made this all possible, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am committed to making this book a volume that you will treasure.

Jen :)

      Jen, congratulations on getting full (and then a bit!) funding! And thanks for another superb taster image, the sunrises down there are beautiful. Having said that they're probably beautiful here as well, I'm just never up in time!!

Update #1: Project Status

Posted on August 17, 2010

Thank you to everyone who has pledged towards my Kennedy Space Center Sunrises book. It looks like I just might make it to the goal. The Book is 71% funded with 11 days to go. Please spread the word! If you're a backer who is on Twitter and I haven't yet tweeted you a thank you or added you to my Twitter list for KSC Sunrises Backers yet, please let me know what your Twitter name is so I can do so.

I've been getting this question, so I thought I would post the answer here.

Will I be able to buy the book after the pledge period, or buy additional copies?

Yes, absolutely! If it is funded, The book will be available for purchase online, and a link will be posted here in an update (and tweeted, of course). These books won't be signed copies like the backer rewards, though. They will be available after the reward copies are sent out.

Thanks for all the support!
Jen
